<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrosurgical instrument capable of minimizing pressure decline inside a body cavity and appropriately eliminating smoke by simple constitution. <P>SOLUTION: In the case of executing aeroperitonia by injecting carbon dioxide into an abdominal cavity 13 by an air sending apparatus 5 and executing the treatment of incision or the like by implanting an electric scalpel 32 in the state of securing an observation visual field by a camera-mounted endoscope 8, when an output switch 38 for performing the instructing operation of high frequency output is turned ON, after the time set beforehand as a condition of starting a smoke eliminating operation by a setting part 51, a control part 24 operates a suction pump 25 and starts the operation of discharging the smoke generated during the treatment of the incision or the like. Thus, the pressure decline inside the abdominal cavity 13 is minimized and the smoke is appropriately eliminated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
