Abstract
A method of forming an implant in tissue can include: providing a polymer solution having an effective amount of polymer dissolved in a biocompatible, water-soluble organic solvent; injecting a plurality of droplets of the polymer solution in the tissue; fusing the injected droplets together; dissipating the biocompatible, water-soluble organic solvent in the tissue; and precipitating the polymer from the injected polymer solution so as to form the implant.
