    摘要: A family of barrel structures is provided in a kit. Each barrel structure is differently sized and configured for advancement into anal canals of different anatomic morphologies. Instructions are provided for using the barrel structures to treat an individual. The instructions instruct assessing an anatomic morphology of an anal canal of an individual to be treated and selecting one of the barrel structures based upon the assessed anatomic morphology. Each barrel structure carries an electrode sized and configured to be coupled to a source of tissue ablation energy to be applied through the electrode to form a lesion. Each barrel structure includes a transparent side wall visualized by a direct line of sight from an end portion of the first barrel structure. The instructions instruct inserting the selected barrel structure into the anal canal and visualizing by the direct line of sight through the transparent side wall of the selected barrel structure the dentate line and the targeted tissue region. The instructions instruct, while visualizing, aligning the electrode in a desired location in the targeted tissue region above the dentate line, advancing the electrode to penetrate tissue at or near a sphincter, and applying energy through the electrode to create a lesion in the sphincter.

    摘要翻译: 套件中提供了一系列桶结构。 每个桶体结构的尺寸和尺寸不同,可用于推进不同解剖形态的肛门运动。 提供使用桶结构来处理个人的说明。 说明书指导评估待治疗个体的肛管的解剖形态,并基于评估的解剖形态选择其中一个桶结构。 每个桶结构都携带一个电极,其尺寸和构造被耦合到待通过电极施加的组织消融能量源以形成病变。 每个桶结构包括通过来自第一桶结构的端部的直接视线可视化的透明侧壁。 说明书指示将所选择的桶结构插入肛管并通过所选择的圆筒结构的透明侧壁通过直视线观察齿状线和目标组织区域。 说明书指示,同时可视化,将电极对准在齿状线上方的目标组织区域中的期望位置,推进电极穿过括约肌中或附近的组织,以及通过电极施加能量以在括约肌中产生损伤。
