Abstract
An apparatus for treating a portion of a wall forming a cavity in a body having a natural body opening for accessing the cavity. The apparatus includes an elongate probe member, a suction source, and an energy source. The elongate probe member includes proximal and distal extremities. The distal extremity of the elongate probe member has an outer surface, at least one recess opening onto the outer surface, and an internal passageway communicating with the recess. The suction source is coupled to the proximal extremity of the elongate probe member and is in communication with the passageway to create suction in the recess for drawing the portion of the wall into the recess. At least one stylet is carried by the elongate probe member and is extendable into the recess. The energy source is coupled to the stylet for delivering energy such as radio frequency energy through the stylet to the portion of the wall for treatment thereof.
