Abstract: A surgery system comprising a device and a robot as well as a method for the operation thereof are disclosed. The device comprises a supply apparatus and at least one instrument for treating biological tissue connected to the supply apparatus. The instrument is arranged on a holding device of the robot and can be positioned and/or moved relative to the tissue to be treated using the robot, wherein this handling is described by at least one handling parameter. At least one of the handling parameters or multiple handling parameters are provided to the device that depending on one or more handling parameters determines and controls in open-loop or closed-loop manner one or more operation parameters for the operation of the instrument. In doing so, an adaptation of the operation of the instrument to the current movement of force exerted on the instrument by means of the robot is achieved.

Abstract: An instrument for thermal treatment of tissue (34), particularly for electrosurgical treatment and particularly for argon plasma coagulation, is disclosed. The instrument has an instrument body (25) extending between a proximal end (27) and a distal end (28). In an end section (38) adjoining a distal end (28) the instrument body (25) comprises at least one color mark (39) in a defined color. This color corresponds to the color of a treated tissue (34) that is created, if the dosage of an energy introduction for achieving a desired depth effect in the tissue (34) has been selected correctly. Preferably the instrument is configured as probe (17), particularly as endoscope probe and has a flexible bendable instrument body (25) that can be referenced as instrument hose (26).

Abstract: The device and method according to the invention allow a particularly fast, gentle, and secure fusion of vessels between two coagulation electrodes. Resistance oscillations are generated in the biological tissue, said oscillations alternatingly moving above and below a tissue resistance value of, e.g., 50 Ohm. Subsequently, a phase of slowed tissue cooling is passed, during which phase a current is applied to the tissue with chronologically decreasing coagulation voltage to achieve a substantially slowed cooling process compared to the instant voltage disconnection. In doing so, a good fusion of the collagen of the pressed-together vessel walls and a mechanically stable solidification of the collagen is achieved. Due to the mentioned process control, the required fusion time is shortened compared to conventional methods, the unwanted damage to surrounding tissue is reduced, and the closure of the vessel is more secure.
