METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TREATING URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE
摘要
The systems and methods in accordance with the principles of the invention can treat urinary stress incontinence by treating target tissue in proximity to the urethra and/or bladder neck. A method for treating urinary stress incontinence in a subject can included non-invasively heating a subsurface region of a target tissue to induce remodeling of the subsurface region at the anterior and/or posterior regions of the vagina. The system can include: a controller and a probe having a distal end configured for non-invasive contact with a surface of a target tissue to transfer energy to the target tissue based on treatment parameters. The probe distal end can have two treatment surfaces spaced apart a distance equal to at least a width of a urethra.
