Abstract

In an electrosurgery apparatus for treating a living tissue, while the living tissue is being treated, a variation in state of energy supplied from a cautery power supply to a monopolar treatment device is detected on the basis of detection data obtained from a current sensor and a voltage sensor. Based on the detected variation, living body information on the living tissue to be treated is obtained.
