Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the termination criterion is a first termination criterion, wherein the electrotherapeutic signal is a first electrotherapeutic signal, wherein the therapeutic phase is a desiccation phase, and wherein the reference impedance is a first reference impedance, the method comprising:
measuring a second reference impedance of the biological tissue following termination of the desiccation phase;
determining a second termination criterion for a vessel welding phase based on the measured second reference impedance prior to commencement of the vessel welding phase;
delivering a second electrotherapeutic signal to the biological tissue during the vessel welding phase; and
terminating the vessel welding phase in response to the second termination criterion being met.
