Methods, devices, and systems for treating the support structures of the body, particularly for incontinence, take advantage of two mechanisms to enhance the support provided by the fascia, ligaments and tendons: first, the invention increases a modulus of elasticity of these tissues, and particularly of the fascial tissues. The increase in modulus can be effected by directing sufficient energy to the fascial tissue so as to promote the formation of scar tissue. The second mechanism attaches tissue planes together, often by directing energy to an interface between adjacent fascial tissues.
L'invention concerne des procédés, des dispositifs et des systèmes permettant de traiter les structures de soutien du corps, en particulier par rapport à l'incontinence, qui tirent parti de deux mécanismes pour renforcer le soutien fourni par le fascia, les ligaments et les tendons et consistent, premièrement, à accroître le module d'élasticité de ces tissus, en particulier les tissus du fascia. On réalise l'accroissement du modulus en appliquant suffisamment d'énergie sur le tissu du fascia de façon à favoriser la formation de tissu cicatriciel. Le second mécanisme consiste à fixer ensemble les plans de tissu, souvent en appliquant l'énergie sur une interface entre les tissus contigus du fascia.
