140. A method of treating a human or animal having anal incontinence disease, comprising:
-
(a) surgically implanting in the human or animal an operable restriction device engaging the human'"'"'s or animal'"'"'s colon or rectum to form a restricted fecal passageway in the colon or rectum. (b) providing a source of energy external to the patient'"'"'s body, and (c) controlling the external source of energy from outside the patient'"'"'s body to release wireless energy, and (d) using the released wireless energy in connection with the operation of the restriction device. - View Dependent Claims (141, 142, 143)

144. A method of treating a human or animal having anal incontinence disease, comprising:
-
placing at least two laparascopical trocars in the human'"'"'s or animal'"'"'s body, inserting a dissecting tool through the trocars and dissecting an area of the colon or rectum placing an operable restriction device in the dissected area, so that the restriction device engages the colon or engages the rectum to form a restricted fecal passageway in the colon or rectum, providing a source of energy outside the human'"'"'s or animal'"'"'s body, controlling the external source of energy from outside the human'"'"'s or animal'"'"'s body to release wireless energy, and using the released wireless energy in connection with the operation of the restriction device.

145. A method of treating a human or animal having anal incontinence disease, comprising:
-
placing at least two laparascopical trocars in the human'"'"'s or animal'"'"'s body, inserting a dissecting tool through the trocars and dissecting an area of colon or the rectum, implanting an operable restriction device in the dissected area, so that the restriction device engages the colon or engages the rectum to form a restricted fecal passageway in the colon the or rectum, implanting an energy transfer device, providing an external source of energy, controlling the external source of energy to release wireless energy, and transferring the wireless energy by the energy transfer device into energy different than the wireless energy for use in connection with the operation of the restriction device. - View Dependent Claims (146)
