Abstract:
1. A system for performing a surgical procedure, the system comprising: a source of energy comprising one of an electrosurgical generator or a microwave generator; a surgical instrument configured to operatively couple to the source of energy and receive energy therefrom, wherein the surgical instrument is adapted to treat tissue with the energy; a first measurement component and a second measurement component interposed along an energy delivery path; an impedance matching network interposed on the energy delivery path between the first measurement component and the second measurement component and adapted to match an input impedance of the source of the energy to about an output impedance, wherein the first measurement component is configured to measure at least one input energy property of the energy input into the impedance matching network and the second measurement component is configured to measure at least one output energy property of the energy output by the impedance matching network; and a power measurement component operatively coupled to the first measurement component and the second measurement component and configured to measure the energy based on the at least one input energy property and the at least one output energy property.
