摘要：
Tools, devices and methods for treating a patient. An incision or puncture is made though the patients skin and a delivery tract is made through an opening formed by the incision or puncture, subcutaneous fat and fascia, far into the patients abdominal cavity. A guide member is inserted through the delivery tract and a distal end portion of the guide member is positioned at a target location within the abdominal cavity. An implantable device is delivered with the aid of the guide member, and the implantable device is attached to at least one internal body structure. A fillable member of the implantable device is at least partially filled with fluid. The guide member is removed and an adjustment member is attached to a conduit in fluid communication with the fillable member. The attachment member is anchored to an internal body structure and the incision or puncture is closed.
