A system for controlling a treatment device includes a system for visually tracking different axially spaced tissue levels and treatment regions within each axially spaced tissue level for application of radiofrequency energy by electrodes of a device to a body region of a patient to perform a surgical procedure, the system comprising a graphic display configured to display a plurality of tissue level indicators, each tissue level indicator corresponding to one of the different axially spaced tissue levels, and a numeric indicator associated with each tissue level indicator configured to indicate a distance from a fixed reference to a designated region within the patient, the numeric indicator automatically changing in response to axial repositioning of the electrodes of the device within the patient.
