Abstract
There is provided a method for treating sexual dysfunction of a female patient comprising stimulating at least one portion of the patient'"'"'s female erectile tissue to at least restrict the blood flow leaving the erectile tissue to obtain engorgement with blood of the female erectile tissue. To improve the erection effect the method further comprises gently constricting the erectile portion to restrict the venous blood flow in the erectile portion, and then stimulating the constricted erectile portion to cause contraction of the erectile portion to at least further restrict the blood flow leaving the erectile tissue to obtain engorgement with blood of the female erectile tissue.

201. A method for treating sexual dysfunction of a female patient, the method comprising the steps of:
-
inserting a needle like tube into a cavity of the patients body, using the needle like tube to fill the cavity with gas thereby expanding the I 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 trocar and dissecting an area of at least one portion of the tissue wall of the erectile portion, placing a constriction device and a stimulation device in the dissected area in operative engagement with the erectile portion, using the constriction device to gently constrict the erectile portion of the erectile portion to restrict the venous blood flow in the erectile portion, and using the stimulation device to stimulate the constricted erectile portion to cause contraction of the erectile portion to further restrict the venous blood flow in the erectile portion to obtain engorgement with blood of the female erectile tissue. - View Dependent Claims (207)
