1. A surgical system comprising:
a control circuit; and
an output circuit coupled to the control circuit and configured to deliver energy to an output terminal for delivery to a patient, the output terminal configured to couple to an electrosurgical device having two jaws with corresponding electrodes,
wherein the control circuit is configured to:
deliver a first therapeutic electrosurgical energy pulse to biological tissue in electrical communication with two electrodes of the electrosurgical device, wherein the first therapeutic electrosurgical energy pulse is followed by a first dwell time;
determine an amount of energy delivered to the jaws delivered during the first therapeutic electrosurgical energy pulse;
calculate a second dwell time based on the determined amount of energy delivered during the first therapeutic electrosurgical energy pulse, wherein the second dwell time is less than the first dwell time; and
deliver a second therapeutic electrosurgical energy pulse to the biological tissue, wherein the second therapeutic electrosurgical energy pulse is followed by the second dwell time.
