    摘要: An anchoring member which comprises a support structure and at least one anchor secured to the anchoring member is disclosed. An anchor deflection member is disposed generally externally to and at least partially surrounding and extending along the perimeter of the anchoring member. The anchor deflection member supports the anchoring member for sliding longitudinal movement in directions which result in advancement and retraction of a point on the anchor. The anchor deflection member defines a guide surface positioned on the inside of the anchor deflection member. The guide surface extends longitudinally, and it is configured and dimensioned to slidingly guide the cylindrical anchoring member. A deflection lip is positioned relatively inwardly with respect to the guide surface. The deflection lip is positioned to outwardly deflect the point of the anchor as the anchor is advanced from a position removed from the deflection lip toward the deflection lip into contact with the deflection lip and beyond the deflection lip.

    摘要: A method of ablating a uterine fibroid using a particular trocar is disclosed. The trocar comprises a plurality of ablation stylets mounted for movement from within the trocar to positions extending from the trocar. The trocar is adjustable to assume a plurality of configurations, each of the configurations having the stylets extended to a different extent from the trocar. A region to be ablated is imaged. The region may correspond to all or a portion of a uterine fibroid. The size of the region to be ablated is noted. The size of the region to be ablated is compared to a matrix of known ablation regions, each of the known ablation regions being associated with one of the configurations of the particular trocar, and each of the known ablation regions being associated with a position of the trocar relative to the known ablation region. The region to be ablated is associated with a most nearly matching known ablation region by comparison of the region to be ablated to the known ablation regions. A trocar of the design of the particular trocar is inserted into the uterine fibroid at a position, with respect to the region to be ablated, which more closely matches the position of the particular trocar with respect to the known ablation region. The stylets are deployed from the trocar to an extent corresponding to the configuration associated with the most nearly matching known ablation region.
