Abstract

A method for performing an electrosurgical procedure is provided. The method includes engaging a tissue with an electrode and applying a non-therapeutic signal to the tissue via the electrode. The method further includes varying a frequency of the non-therapeutic signal and receiving a return signal generated from the tissue in response to the non-therapeutic signal. The non-therapeutic signal includes a voltage and a current. The method further includes detecting a phase angle between the voltage and the current of the non-therapeutic signal during the varying of the frequency of the non-therapeutic signal, and identifying, as a center frequency, the frequency when the phase angle of the return signal is at a minimum. A surgical system is also provided.
