摘要: The present invention features methods for applying a force, such as laser or radiofrequency (RF) energy to the wall of small intestine, which targets and eliminates portion capillary vascular network responsible transportation nutrients patient. This causes patient absorb reduced percentage nutrients, results in caloric intake. Various types shapes applicators are used deliver treatment energy, these applicator devices within scope invention. can be deployed through either body cavity (e.g., oral cavity), an open surgical procedure, minimally invasive incision incisions.
