A desiccation device for operation on a target tissue includes a handle, a shaft extending distally from the handle, and a head. The shaft defines a lumen therethrough, and the head has a loop configuration supported on a distal end of the shaft. The head is hollow and defines a lumen therethrough. The lumen of the head is in fluid communication with the lumen of the shaft. At least a portion of the head is electrically connected to a source of electrosurgical energy. A fluid is circulatable through the lumens of the shaft and the head.
