Abstract

See full text

A system (20) for performing an electrosurgical procedure includes a first electrode (22) for contacting a target nerve tissue area of a patient to deliver electrical energy to the target nerve tissue area. The system (20) is characterized by a multi-function hand controller (30) in communication with a control unit (24) and remote from and corresponding to a screen unit (138) for providing inputs to the control unit (24) in parallel with the screen unit (138) whereby an operator may position the multi-function hand controller (30) at a patient's side and enter inputs to said control unit (24) by either of said multi-function hand controller (30) and the screen unit (138). The multi-function hand controller (30) includes a plurality of push-buttons (52) corresponding to the screen unit (138) for entering inputs to the control unit (24). The inputs to the control unit (24) control the electrical energy.
