Abstract
A tissue removal method utilizes a tool having a shaft with a flexible inner member rotatable about the shaft and an outer member extending along the inner member. The inner and outer members are bent to a desired configuration and the inner member rotates relative to the outer member while maintaining the shaft in the desired configuration under the influence of the rigidity of the outer member during rotation of the inner member. A patient's body tissue is cut with a cutting element connected with the inner member during rotation and the body tissue cut from the patient is moved along a passage within the shaft while the shaft is maintained in the desired configuration.
