1. A bipolar electrosurgical device comprising,a handle having a shaft and a distal end, wherein the handle is configured to be coupled to a source of electrical energy and a fluid source;

  • a generally U-shaped first electrode extending distally in a plane from a pair of openings on the distal end of the shaft wherein the first electrode is in electrical communication with one of an active pole and a return pole of the source of electrical energy; and

    a generally longitudinal second electrode extending distally from a middle opening on the distal end of the shaft, the second electrode being substantially coplanar to the first electrode and electrically isolated from the first electrode;

    wherein the second electrode is in electrical communication with the other of the active pole and the return pole of the source of electrical energy; and

    wherein the second electrode forms a lumen configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid source and a fluid opening for dispersing fluid.
