METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING HF AND/OR US SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND SOFTWARE PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

Disclosed herein are a method and a system for supporting HF and/or US surgical procedures which are carried out using a plurality of HF and/or US surgical instruments. HF and/or US generators are capable of supplying HF and/or US power to the surgical instruments in HF and/or US modes with predetermined operating parameter sets. The generators can be equipped with a measuring device designed to measure electrical properties of treated tissue. The method can include recording and temporarily storing data in the generators, transferring the data to a central analysis device, storing and analyzing the data in the central analysis device, and as a result of the analysis, adapting or rejecting an existing HF and/or US mode, generating a new HF and/or US mode, checking and optionally adapting a laboratory test for relevance to a practical application, and introducing a new laboratory test for a previously unknown surgical state.
