ABSTRACT:
An electrosurgical system has an electrosurgical generator and a bipolar electrosurgical instrument, the generator being arranged to perform a treatment cycle in which radio frequency energy is delivered to the instrument as an amplitude-modulated radio frequency power signal in the form of a succession of pulses characterized by successive pulses of progressively increasing pulse width and progressively decreasing pulse amplitude. There are periods of at least 100 milliseconds between successive pulses, and the treatment cycle begins with a predetermined pulse mark-to-space ratio. Energy delivery between pulses is substantially zero. Each burst is of sufficiently high power to form vapor bubbles within tissue being treated and the time between successive pulses is sufficiently long to permit condensation of the vapor.
