Method for controlling flow of urine in a patient's urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder

A method for controlling a flow of urine in the passageway of a patient's urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder, the method comprising the steps of:

• inserting a needle like tube into a cavity of the patient's body,
• using the needle like tube to fill the cavity with gas thereby expanding the cavity,
• placing at least two laparoscopical trocars in the patient's body,
• inserting a camera through one of the trocars into the cavity,
• inserting a dissecting tool through any of the trocars and dissecting an area of at least one portion of a tissue wall of the urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder,
• placing a constriction device comprising an integrated stimulation device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder,
• allowing the constriction device to gently constrict the wall portion of the urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder to influence the flow in the urinary passageway, and
• allowing the stimulation device to stimulate the gently constricted wall portion to cause contraction of the wall portion to further influence the flow in the urinary passageway.

A method for controlling a flow of urine in the passageway of a patients urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder, the method comprising the steps of:

• cutting the skin of the patient,
• inserting a dissecting tool and dissecting an area of at least one portion of a tissue wall of the urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder,
• placing a constriction device comprising are integrated stimulation device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder,
• allowing the constriction device to gently constrict the wall portion of the urethra, ureter, renal pelvis or bladder to influence the flow in the urinary passageway, and
• allowing the stimulation device to stimulate the gently constricted wall portion to cause contraction of the wall portion to further influence the flow in the urinary passageway.
