Devices, Systems and Methods for Treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Other Conditions

A method of placing anchors proximate prostate tissue, comprising:

• placing a delivery system proximate a prostate gland, the delivery system comprising a penetrating member, a first anchor, a second anchor, and a flexible connector, wherein the first anchor is fixed to the connector and the second anchor is configured to allow the connector to slide only in one direction;
• advancing the penetrating member to penetrate the prostatic capsule at a first location;
• deploying the first anchor to a position proximate an outer surface of the prostatic capsule;
• advancing the penetrating member to penetrate the prostatic capsule at a second location;
• and
• deploying the first anchor to a position proximate an outer surface of the prostatic capsule, wherein the connector connects the first anchor and second anchor and is positioned such that a segment of the connector engages a portion of the prostatic urethra of the prostate gland.
