  • Publication number: 20240260811
    Abstract: A medical system includes a treatment tool provided with an end effector that treats a tissue, an imager capturing an image of the tissue, and a processor. The processor acquires color information of a target tissue from the captured image output from the imager. The target tissue is a portion of the tissue that covers at least a portion of the end effector that has slid into the tissue. The processor estimates a force applied to the target tissue by the end effector from the color information of the target tissue. The processor notifies an operator of a result of the estimation of the force.
