    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for treating disorders in parts of the body. A particular treatment can include on or more of, or some combination of: ablation, nerve modulation, three-dimensional tissue shaping, drug delivery, mapping stimulating, shrinking and reducing strain on structures by altering the geometry thereof and providing bulk to particularly defined regions. The particular body structures or tissues can include one or more of or some combination of region, including: the bladder, esophagus, vagina, penis, larynx, pharynx, aortic arch, abdominal aorta, thoracic, aorta, large intestine, sinus, auditory canal, uterus, vas deferens, trachea, and all associated sphincters. Types of energy that can be applied include radiofrequency, laser, microwave, infrared waves, ultrasound, or some combination thereof. Types of substances that can be applied include pharmaceutical agents such as analgesics, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs, bulking agents such as biologically non-reactive particles, cooling fluids, or dessicants such as liquid nitrogen for use in cryo-based treatments.

    Abstract: An implantable electrode is provided for treating tissue in a patient with energy. In one variation of this embodiment, the implantable electrode includes a shaft having a length sufficient to extend from outside a body of the patient to adjacent a tissue site to be treated, an electrode core attached to a distal end of the shaft capable of delivering a form of energy to the tissue site, one or more wires which extend from a proximal end of the shaft to the electrode core such that an energy source external to the patient can be coupled to the wire for delivering energy to the electrode core, and a head formed at least in part of a soluble and porous material which at least partially surrounds the electrode core and becomes conductive when contacted with an energy conducting liquid. According to this variation, the shaft also includes a lumen for delivering energy conducting liquid from outside the body to the head.

    Abstract: A cell necrosis apparatus includes an introducer with a tissue piercing distal end. An RF electrode device includes a first RF electrode with a tissue piercing distal end, a second RF electrode with a tissue piercing distal end, and a third RF electrode with a tissue piercing distal end. The first and second electrodes each have an exterior non-insulated energy delivery surface and an exterior opposing insulated surface. The first, second and third RF electrodes are deployable from the introducer with the first and second RF electrodes exterior non-insulated energy delivery surfaces facing and surrounding the third RF electrode.
