Abstract: An electrosurgical system is disclosed, including an electrosurgical generator and an electrosurgical instrument which is or can be connected to the electrosurgical generator, wherein the electrosurgical instrument comprises at least a first activation element and a second activation element and the electrosurgical generator is configured to, on actuation of the first activation element, deliver an electrosurgical therapy signal having a first signal shape to the electrosurgical instrument, and, on actuation of the second activation element, deliver an electrosurgical therapy signal having a second signal shape. The system is characterized in that the first signal shape and the second signal shape are identical, and in that the electrosurgical generator is further configured to only perform success monitoring of a tissue effect achieved by the electrosurgical therapy signal on actuation of the first activation element.
