Zusammenfassung:Method and system of control of conductive fluid during coagulation using radio frequency energy. At least one example is of sealing blood vessels, the method comprising: applying, by an electrosurgical controller, radio frequency (RF) energy between two electrodes of a coagulation wand, the two electrodes abutting tissue at a surgical site, and the RF energy at a coagulation energy; supplying, by the electrosurgical controller, a flow of conductive fluid to the surgical site; measuring, by the electrosurgical controller, a value indicative of impedance of tissue and conductive fluid between the two electrodes; and decreasing, by the electrosurgical controller, the flow of conductive fluid as the value indicative of impedance decreases.
