Abstract:
Devices (10), systems, and methods can treat incontinence by heating between about 100 and about 800 cubic millimeters of endopelvic fascia for sufficient time to effect substantial collagenous tissue shrinkage. A probe body may directly engage the endopelvic fascia, or may be separated from the endopelvic fascia, or may be separated form the endopelvic fascia heating through (for example) the vaginal wall. In either case, tissue-penetrating electrodes (16) may be inserted from the probe body so as to heat the endopelvic fascia.
