The threaded tissue tack has a central body portion (12,62) and first (14,64) and second (16,68) screws extending from opposite ends of the central body portion. The first screw includes a left-hand thread (18,66) and the second includes a right-hand thread (20,70). Engagement structure (22,72) is provided on the central body portion to rotate the threaded tissue tack about its longitudinal axis and into the pair of tissue sections. There is also disclosed a tack driver (40,90) for rotating the threaded tissue tack into the tissue. Guards (24,26,74,76) are provided intermediate first and second ends of the central body portion and the first and second screws to protect surrounding tissue from the tack driver.
