Methods and systems for treating biological tissue using high frequency electrical energy includes a cycle comprising a desiccating phase, a cutting phase and a coagulating phase. During the dessicating phase of the cycle, a first high frequency electrical energy applied to the tissue for desiccating the tissue is modulated. A first parameter associated with application of the first high frequency electrical energy to the tissue for desiccating the tissue is estimated. During the cutting phase, cutting energy applied to the tissue for cutting the tissue is then modulated based on the first parameter. During the coagulating phase, a second high frequency electrical energy applied to the tissue for coagulating the cut tissue is modulated.
