1. A surgical system, comprising:

  • a surgical instrument, including;

    a handle assembly;

    an electromechanical device in operative communication with the handle assembly;

    an end effector assembly operably coupled to the electromechanical device;

    a drive rod operably coupled between the electromechanical device and the end effector assembly;

    a first mechanical interface operably associated with the electromechanical device; and

    a second mechanical interface operably associated with the end effector assembly and configured to engage the first mechanical interface such that actuation of the handle assembly activates the electromechanical device to impart movement of the end effector assembly from a first configuration to a second configuration; and

    an energy source in operative communication with the surgical instrument, the energy source having at least one algorithm for at least one of independently controlling or monitoring the delivery of energy from the energy source to the electromechanical device and the end effector assembly.
