Summary:In various examples, an apparatus (120) includes a needle cannula (126) including a proximal end and a distal end. The needle cannula includes a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. A handle (122) is disposed at the proximal end of the needle cannula. An electrocautery receiver (124) is associated with the handle and electrically coupled to the needle cannula, wherein, with an electrocautery device activated and placed within the electrocautery receiver, electrical energy is conducted from the electrocautery device to the distal end of the needle cannula to selectively electrocauterize tissue in contact with the distal end of the needle cannula.
