A method comprises the steps of: imaging a patient anatomy; selecting an implant strategy for at least one bone fastener having a first member; registering the imaging of the patient anatomy with imaging of at least a portion of a robot; engaging the first member with tissue of the patient anatomy via robotic guidance according to the implant strategy; and subsequently, manipulating the patient anatomy. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

Methods and tools capable of treating diffuse or localized pain attributable to fluid accumulation within a bone. Such methods may utilize an instrument that includes a pilot adapted to penetrate soft tissue between the bone and the skin of a living being. The pilot is used in combination with a penetration tool to penetrate the bone, penetrate into the cortex of the bone, and form a seal against the surface of the bone, and after which fluid is removed from within the bone. Alternatively, the method may utilized a penetration tool equipped with a stopper bar to limit penetration to the periosteum of the bone, and/or may be implanted and connected to an implanted pump.

Provided are a medical insertion apparatus includes a screw body to be inserted into a body, and an electrode provided in the screw body and including an externally exposed portion, wherein a through-hole may be provided in the screw body or the electrode, and a medical insertion apparatus includes a screw body to be inserted into a body, and an electrode provided in the screw body and exposed to an outside of the screw body, wherein the screw body and the electrode may be provided in a connectable or separable structure.

The present in relates to a kit for treating or relieving incision site pain. According to the present invention, there is provided a kit for treating or relieving postoperative incision site pain, which makes effective treatment possible by injecting a pain relief drug or a treatment drug into a surgical site in situ after incisional surgery during an incisional surgical procedure, and stably and slowly releasing the drug.

A wound or incision closure apparatus comprises a first and second panel. Each of the panels comprises a bottom adhesive layer, a medial substrate layer, and an upper load distribution layer which connect the two panels. A sensory or therapeutic element is disposed adjacent, within, or between two or more of the layers. The sensory or therapeutic element can provide sensing and/or therapy for the incision and/or monitor the incision so that the therapy can be customized and updated.

A uterine fibroid tissue removal device includes an inner tube disposed within an outer tube and configured to be translated and rotated relative to the outer tube, and a separately formed unitary distal tip member attached to a distal end of the inner tube, such that the distal tip member translates and rotates relative to the outer tube along with the inner tube, wherein a distal facing open cutting end of the distal tip member in fluid communication with an axial lumen of the distal tip member translates across a tissue resection window in a sidewall of the outer tube so as to sever tissue extending therethrough, the distal tip member axial lumen being in fluid communication with an axial lumen of the inner tube, wherein an outer diameter of the distal tip member is greater than an outer diameter of the inner tube.
