    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for identifying a target during an endoscopic procedure are disclosed. An endoscopic target identification system includes an endoscope having an endoscopic illumination source, an optical fiber insertable through a working channel of the endoscope and coupled to a non-endoscopic illumination source different from the endoscopic illumination source, and a controller. The controller can send a control signal to the non-endoscopic illumination source to emit a diagnostic beam through the optical fiber when the at least one endoscopic illumination source changes from a first mode to a second mode. The second mode has a lower amount of illumination than the first mode. The controller can determine a composition of a target based on the diagnostic beam incident on the target and light from the diagnostic beam being reflected from the target.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic control of surgical site temperature during an endoscopic procedure are disclosed. An exemplary endoscopic surgical system comprises a endoscopic surgical device controllably coupled to a medical instrument to deliver energy to an anatomical target at a surgical site, a temperature sensor to measure temperatures at the surgical site at different times during the procedure, and a controller circuit to generate a temperature trend or a prediction of future temperature at the surgical site using the temperature measurements. Based at least in part on the generated temperature trend or the prediction of future temperature at the surgical site, the controller circuit can adjust at least one operating parameter associated with the endoscopic surgical system to achieve or maintain substantially a desired temperature at the surgical site during the procedure to prevent, or reduce the severity of, laser-induced tissue thermal damage.
