That is, when the target tissue 10 has a relatively high amount of moisture, the value of the capacitance component is small. As the target tissue 10 is dried, for example, bubbles are generated, and thus the capacitance component is large.

Then, as the tissue dehydration and drying proceeds, the absolute value of the phase difference increases. Switching from the first phase to the second phase is performed by detecting such a change in the absolute value of the phase difference. At the time of switching from the first phase (drying phase) to the second phase (fusion phase), the target tissue 10 is in a sufficiently dry state, and control of the fusion treatment in the fusion phase is facilitated.
