METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING AN HF SURGICAL PROCEDURE AND SOFTWARE PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

A method and system for supporting an HF surgical procedure in which tissue is treated. The method includes supplying an HF instrument including an HF electrode and an HF generator with HF current, providing a plurality of HF modes adapted to respective ones of a plurality of tissue types, and orienting an optical capturing device toward the HF electrode such that a field of view of the optical capturing device is configured to encompass a region of the tissue to be treated around the HF electrode during an intended treatment of the tissue. The method further includes performing an optical classification of a tissue type of the tissue in the region of the HF electrode based on optical measurement signals captured by the optical capturing device, and setting a specific HF mode for the tissue type based on the result of the optical classification.
