    Abstract: A system for accessing the interior of a vertebral body or the intervertebral disc space above or below the vertebral body is disclosed. The system comprises a steerable cutting means for creating a path within or through the vertebral body to allow access for other devices to deliver a therapy, and may be housed within a flexible catheter shaft. The steerable cutting means may create a path to allow access to a device for removing tissue, and/or additional a devices for delivering a therapy, such as, for example, a filling material and/or a prosthesis. A method of accessing the interior of a vertebral body or the intervertebral disc space using the system, and a method of treatment of spinal disorders using the system are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In a first embodiment of a system for treating diseased bowel, a pair of incisions are formed on opposite ends of a diseased section of bowel. A tubular bypass implant is positioned in the bowel such that its ends are anchored within the bowel and such that an intermediate section of the implant is positioned external to the bowel such that bowel contents flow through the implant and thus around the diseased bowel section. In a second embodiment, the diseased section of bowel is removed and a system is implanted for joining limbs of the resected bowel together to form an anastomosis. In the preferred anastomosis system, the limbs of the resected bowel are positioned between a tubular sleeve extending through the bowel and a tubular cuff positioned around the bowel.
