An electrosurgical return electrode for use in monopolar surgery is disclosed. The return electrode includes a conductive pad which includes a plurality of conductive elements, forming a grid. A plurality of temperature sensors are each operatively engaged with a respective one of the plurality of conductive elements. A connection device is capable of selectively transferring radio frequency current from an active electrode to each of the plurality of conductive elements. The connection device may be connected and/or disconnected to a conductive element when a temperature sensor senses a predetermined temperature or range of temperatures. Specifically, if the temperature of a portion of the patient is too high, the corresponding conductive element may be disconnected from the connection device. If the temperature of a portion of the patient is low enough, the corresponding conductive element can be connected (or reconnected) to the connection device.
