1. A method for controlling an output of an electrosurgical generator operatively coupled to a bipolar electrosurgical device, comprising:

  • measuring a phase angle of a first measurement signal applied to tissue of a patient via at least one electrode of the electrosurgical device, the first measurement signal applied to the tissue prior to treatment of the tissue by the electrosurgical device;

    determining a target phase angle using the phase angle of the first measurement signal;

    following delivery of a treatment signal to the tissue, measuring the phase angle of a second measurement signal applied to the tissue, the treatment signal capable of causing modification of the tissue; and

    ceasing delivery of the treatment signal to the tissue when the phase angle of the second measurement signal reaches the target phase angle.
