Abstract: Electrosurgical generators having improved functionality and user interface. In an example, the user may modify therapy output parameters without interrupting therapy delivery within a therapy regimen. In an example, the display shows both therapy amplitudes and encountered impedances for a plurality of therapy pulses in different portions of a display. In an example, the electrosurgical generator is operable in a triggered mode using a cardiac signal trigger and provides the operator with an estimate of remaining time that is calculated in light of a calculated cardiac rate.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for irrigated bipolar radiofrequency ablation. The system includes an ablation probe that includes an elongate inner electrode assembly and an elongate outer electrode assembly. An irrigation path for irrigation fluid flow is defined between the outer surface of the inner electrode assembly and the outer surface of the outer electrode assembly. The irrigation path enables cooling fluid to be circulated within the probe body, cooling the outer electrode during ablation.

Abstract: A variable-length microwave ablation probe is provided. The probe is configured to have a range of resonant frequencies. The probe includes a microwave antenna, an outer conductor, and a cap. The probe further includes a radiation window that is at least partially transparent to microwave energy. The distal boundary of the outer conductor or the proximal boundary of the cap varies in distance from the probe distal end. The probe can have a choke length, an arm length, a radiating portion length, and a cap length. The lengths can each affect the resonant frequency of the antenna. Some examples provide a variable choke length, a variable arm length, a variable radiating portion length, and/or a variable cap length.
