Abstract: An electrosurgical device including an elongated body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and defining an evacuation lumen. The elongated body including an irrigation channel carried by the elongate body, the irrigation channel configured to deliver a fluid to a target tissue adjacent to the distal end, a coring electrode at the distal end of the elongated body, where the coring electrode defines an opening to the evacuation lumen, and where the coring electrode is configured to operate in a monopolar configuration to deliver radio frequency (RF) plasma energy to adjacent tissue to cut a volume of the target tissue, and a dielectric coating on at least a distal portion of the elongated body, the dielectric coating electrically insulating the elongated body from target tissue and the volume of cut target tissue, where the dielectric coating comprises a ceramic material.
