The invention generally relates to a tissue ablation system including an ablation device to be delivered to a target site and achieve both resection and coagulation of tissue. The ablation device can be used during an electrosurgical resection procedure to both resect tissue and further selectively coagulate surrounding tissue in the resection site so as to prevent or stop fluid accumulation (e.g., blood from vessel(s)) as a result of the resection of tissue.
