The invention provides a method and system for treating disorders parts of t he body. A particular treatment can include one 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 o f, or some combination of reions, including the bladder, esophagus, vagina, penis, laryns, pharynx, aortic arch, abdominal aorta, thoracic aorta, large intestine, small 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 nonreactive particles, cooling fluids or dessicants such as liquid nitrogen for use in cryo-based treatment s. |
