A method for reducing a volume of a tongue provides an ablative agent source. The ablative agent source is coupled to an ablative agent delivery device. At least a portion of the ablative agent delivery device is advanced into an interior of the tongue. A sufficient amount of an ablative agent is delivered from the ablative agent delivery device into the interior of the tongue to debulk a section of the tongue without damaging a hypoglossal nerve. Thereafter, the ablative agent delivery device is retracted from the interior of the tongue.
L'invention concerne un procédé visant à éliminer un certain volume de la langue au moyen d'une source d'agent d'ablation. Cette source est reliée à un dispositif délivrant l'agent d'ablation. Au moins une partie du dispositif en question est introduit à l'intérieur de la langue. Une quantité suffisante d'agent d'ablation passe alors du dispositif délivrant l'agent d'ablation à l'intérieur de la langue, en vue d'éliminer une section de langue sans endommager de nerf hypoglosse. On retire ensuite le dispositif délivrant l'agent d'ablation de l'endroit où il est introduit à l'intérieur de la langue.
