<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for thermal-feedback-controlled rate of fluid flow to fluid-cooled antenna assembly, and to provide a method of directing energy to tissue using the same. <P>SOLUTION: An electrosurgical system 10 includes an electrosurgical device adapted to direct energy to tissue, one or more temperature sensors TS1, TS2 associated with the electrosurgical device, a fluid-flow path 19 leading to the electrosurgical device, and a flow-control device 50 disposed in fluid communication with the fluid-flow path. The system also includes a processor unit 82 communicatively-coupled to the one or more temperature sensors and communicatively-coupled to the flow-control device. The processor unit is configured to control the flow-control device based on determination of a desired fluid-flow rate using one or more electrical signals output from the one or more temperature sensors. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
