    摘要: The present invention includes a method and apparatus for adhering tissue to one another. In an embodiment of the present invention the two tissues to be joined, for example the lower esophagus (110) and the fundus of the stomach (330), are first placed adjacent to one another. Next a first restraint (220) is placed near the outside surface (325) of one of the tissues and a second restraint (200) is placed near the outside surface of the other tissue (310). An irritant (210) is then placed between the two adjacent tissues. The restraints (220, 200), and consequently the tissue surfaces, are then drawn together. As the touching irritated tissue surfaces heal they will become bonded to one another and their need for the mechanical fastening of the restraints, to secure them together, will be diminished.

    摘要: A prostatic stent (3) comprises a body member (5) and a retaining member. The body member (5) includes a distal terminating end (4), a proximal end portion (7), and a lumen extending within the body member to allow fluid drainage through the body member. The body member (5) is sized for placement substantially within the prostatic section of the urethra, with the distal terminating end (4) located proximal of an external sphincter to allow normal operation of the external sphincter. The retaining member (8) extends from the proximal end portion (7) of the body member (5). The retaining member (8) is collapsible into a first state to allow passage of the prostatic stent (3) into the urethra, and the retaining member (8) is expandable into a second state when located in a bladder to hold the body member (5) in place substantially within the prostatic section of the urethra.
