#$%^&*AU2012265569A120130110.pdf#####ABSTRACT 5 A method and apparatus are disclosed for delivering energy substantially distal to an electrosurgical device. Embodiments of a device of the present invention may comprise an elongate member having one or more electrically insulated portions and a distal face comprising one or more electrically exposed conductive portions for 10 delivering energy substantially distal to the elongate member. At least one of the one or more electrically insulated portions may extend from a proximal region of the elongate member to a distal end of the elongate member. In addition, a method is provided for creating a lesion at a target site within a body of a human or animal using an 15 electrosurgical device. The method may comprise the steps of: inserting the electrosurgical device into the body such that the electrosurgical device is generally upstanding relative to the target site; and delivering energy from an energy source through a distal face of the electrosurgical device such that the energy is directed substantially 20 distal to the distal face towards the target site. 91
