Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005122938A1] A method for treating a bone body comprises inserting a probe having at least one active electrode into the target tissue and applying a voltage difference between an active electrode and a return electrode to ablate the tissue. The method is particularly directed to removing tumors in a bone body and or removing cancellous bone in a bone body. The bone body may be a vertebral body. The devices include electrosurgical probes which enable their electrodes to access tissue at trajectories beyond that of the access channel through which they are delivered to the target tissue. Also, a kit includes an electrosurgical probe, an electrosurgical generator, an introducer needle, and a fluid connector to connect the introducer needle to a fluid source such that liquid may be supplied to the target tissue during an application.
