摘要：
A method of treating spinal tissue of a patients body is disclosed, the method using a system comprising an energy source and first and second internally-cooled probe assemblies, wherein each of the probe assemblies comprises an electrically conductive energy delivery device electrically coupled to the energy source. The method comprises: inserting the energy delivery devices of the first and second internally-cooled probe assemblies into spaced-apart treatment sites for the spinal tissue delivering energy from the energy source to the spinal tissue through the energy delivery devices to create a lesion within the spinal tissue delivering a cooling fluid to the energy delivery devices and controlling the delivery of energy and the delivery of the cooling fluid to the energy delivery devices such that the lesion extends between the energy delivery devices.
