Abstract

An energy surgical device is provided with a treatment section which treats a subject, an energy supply section which supplies energy to the treatment section, a state-change detecting section which detects a state change of the treatment section, an energy instruction input section which inputs an instruction for the energy supply, and a regulation section which regulates the energy supply by the energy supply section based on the input of the energy supply instruction through the energy instruction input section and a result of detection in the state-change detecting section.

Claims

1. An energy surgical device comprising:

a treatment section which treats a subject;

an energy supply section which supplies energy to the treatment section;

a state-change detecting section which detects a state change of the treatment section;

an energy instruction input section through which an instruction for the energy supply is input; and

a regulation section which regulates the energy supply by the energy supply section based on the input of the energy supply instruction through the energy instruction input section and a result of detection in the state-change detecting section.

2. An energy surgical device according to claim 1, wherein the regulation section is provided with a threshold input section which inputs a threshold value of the state variation.

3. An energy surgical device according to claim 1, wherein the energy surgical device is used together with an endoscope.

4. An energy surgical device comprising:

a treatment section which treats a subject;

an energy supply section which supplies energy to the treatment section;

a force amount change detecting section which detects a change of an amount of force received by the treatment section;

an energy instruction input section which inputs an instruction for the energy supply; and

a regulation section which regulates the energy supply by the energy supply section based on the input of the energy supply instruction through the energy instruction input section and a result of detection in the state-change detecting section.

5. An energy surgical device according to claim 4, wherein the regulation section is provided with a threshold input section which inputs a threshold value of the force amount variation.

6. An energy surgical device according to claim 4, wherein the energy surgical device is used together with an endoscope.

7. An energy surgical device comprising:

a treatment section which treats a subject;

an energy supply section which supplies energy to the treatment section;

a state-change detecting section which detects a state change of the treatment section;

an energy instruction input section which inputs an instruction for the energy supply;

a power section which actively drives the treatment section;

a power instruction input section which instructs the power section to operate;

a control section which controls the power section in accordance with the operation instruction through the power instruction input section; and

a regulation section which regulates the energy supply by the energy supply section and/or the drive by the power section based on the input of the power instruction through the power instruction input section and a result of detection in the state-change detecting section.

8. An energy surgical device according to claim 7, wherein the state-change detecting section detects a change of an amount of force received by the treatment section.

9. An energy surgical device according to claim 7, wherein the regulation section is provided with a threshold input section which inputs a threshold value of the state variation.

10. An energy surgical device according to claim 9, wherein the regulation section regulates the drive of the power section lest the state variation of the state-change detecting section exceed the threshold value.

11. An energy surgical device according to claim 9, wherein the regulation section regulates the energy supply by the energy supply section when the state variation of the state-change detecting section exceeds the threshold value.

12. An energy surgical device according to claim 7, wherein the energy surgical device is used together with an endoscope.
