Abstract
In an endoscopic surgical instrument for the coagulation, by high frequency energy, and for the severing of coagulated tissue areas, a coagulation pliers and a scissors structure are provided, which are mounted on the distal end of an instrument and which are operated by a handle with operating levers in such a way that, upon actuation of the handle, first the pliers is closed for grasping the tissue while the scissors are closed in a delayed fashion. After coagulation of the tissue engaged by the pliers, actuation of a second lever at the handle end of the instrument fully closes the scissors structure for cutting the tissue in the coagulation area.
