An endoscopic forceps includes a housing having a shaft extending therefrom for treating tissue. A longitudinal axis is defined through the shaft. An end effector assembly is operably coupled to a distal end of the shaft and includes a pair of first and second jaw members. A rotating assembly operably coupled to the shaft is configured to rotate the shaft and the end effector about the longitudinal axis. A drive assembly is configured to selectively and releasably engage the rotating assembly. Engagement of the rotating assembly with the drive assembly couples the rotating assembly to the shaft such that the shaft is rotatable about the longitudinal axis in a predetermined direction when the rotating assembly is rotated. And, disengagement of the rotating assembly from the drive assembly uncouples the rotating assembly from the shaft such that the shaft is non-rotatable about the longitudinal axis when the rotating assembly is rotated.

A surgical instrument according to claim 1, wherein the shaft includes an outer tube and the rotating assembly includes a mandrel coaxially positioned around the outer tube that is configured to support the rotatable assembly and the drive assembly thereon. 3. A surgical instrument according to claim 2, wherein the drive assembly includes a proximal collar and a distal collar and the rotating assembly is positioned between the distal collar of the drive assembly and a distal clip operably disposed on the mandrel. 4. A surgical instrument according to claim 3, wherein a spring is positioned between the proximal collar of the drive assembly and a proximal flange of the mandrel, the spring configured to at least bias the distal collar of the drive assembly into engagement with the rotating assembly. 5. A surgical instrument according to claim 4, wherein the end effector assembly includes first and second jaw members, at least one of the first and second jaw members movable relative to the other from an open position, wherein the first and second jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another, to a clamping position, wherein the first and second jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. 6. A surgical instrument according to claim 5, wherein the spring is a compression spring that cooperates with the drive assembly to provide a closure force on the first and second jaw members in the range from about 3 kg/cm2 to about 16 kg/cm2 when the movable handle is in the latched position. 7. A surgical instrument according to claim 3, wherein the drive assembly is operably coupled to a movable handle associated with the housing, the drive assembly configured such that a predetermined amount of proximal movement of the movable handle moves the distal collar of the drive assembly out of engagement with the rotating assembly such that the rotating assembly spins freely about the mandrel when rotated. 8. A surgical instrument according to claim 7, wherein a shaft mount operably couples to the housing and the shaft, the shaft mount configured to allow rotation of the shaft thereabout when the rotating assembly is rotated and configured to prevent translation of the shaft along the longitudinal axis when the movable handle is moved proximally. 9. A surgical instrument according to claim 7, further comprising a latch configured to releasably engage the movable handle, the latch operably coupled to an internal frame of the housing. 10. A surgical instrument according to claim 9, wherein the latch is pivotably coupled to the internal frame of the housing and includes a resilient member configured to bias the latch in a direction towards the shaft. 11. A surgical instrument according to claim 10, wherein the resilient member is a leaf spring. 12. A surgical instrument according to claim 9, wherein a locking feature is operably coupled to a proximal end of the movable handle and is configured to selectively and releasably engage the latch. 13. A surgical instrument, comprising: an end effector assembly;a rotating assembly operably coupled to the end effector assembly and configured to rotate the end effector assembly; anda drive assembly operably coupled to the end effector assembly and configured to selectively engage the rotating assembly, wherein engagement of the rotating assembly with the drive assembly couples the rotating assembly to the end effector assembly such that the end effector assembly is rotated when the rotating assembly is rotated, wherein the drive assembly is configured to selectively disengage the rotating assembly rendering the end effector assembly unrotatable relative to the housing. 14.

A surgical instrument according to claim 14, further comprising a coupling rod including proximal and distal external gear wheels disposed thereon, the proximal external gear wheel of the coupling rod configured to mesh with a proximal external gear wheel of the rotating assembly, and the distal external gear wheel of the coupling rod configured to mesh with a distal external gear wheel of the rotating assembly such that rotation of the rotating assembly rotates the end effector assembly. 16. A surgical instrument according to claim 15, wherein the drive assembly includes a proximal collar and a distal collar and the mandrel includes a distal clip and wherein the proximal external gear wheel of the rotating assembly is positioned between the distal collar of the drive assembly and the distal clip. 17. A surgical instrument according to claim 16, wherein a spring is positioned between the proximal collar of the drive assembly and a proximal flange of the mandrel, the spring configured to at least bias the distal collar of the drive assembly into engagement with the proximal external gear wheel of the rotating assembly. 18. A surgical instrument according to claim 13, wherein the end effector assembly includes first and second jaw members, at least one of the first and second jaw members movable relative to the other jaw member from an open position, wherein the first and second jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another, to a clamping position, wherein the first and second jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. 19.
