An electrosurgical device includes an elongated shaft, an active electrode, and a return electrode. The elongated shaft has an end effector that is operably engaged with a distal portion thereof and a channel defined therethrough. The distal portion of the elongated shaft includes a distal tip that is configured to provide suction from a suction surface to the distal tip through the channel. The end effector may include a flare a proximal end thereof. The active electrode is positioned adjacent the distal tip of the elongated shaft and is configured to deliver electrosurgical energy to tissue. The return electrode is positioned on an outer surface of the end effector proximal of the active electrode. The return electrode is configured to provide a return path for the electrosurgical energy.
