Abstract
A surgical operation apparatus includes a probe to which ultrasonic vibration is transmitted, and a flat plate-like blade which is formed at a distal end part of the probe, and can simultaneously output ultrasonic vibration and a high-frequency current, wherein the blade includes a contact area reduction part for reducing an area of contact with the living tissue to thereby increase a current density of the high-frequency current.
