A method for modifying a geometry of a collagenous tissue mass includes heating the collagenous tissue mass to a temperature sufficient to cause denaturation, and introducing a biocompatible fixative, such as genepin, into the collagenous tissue mass.
1. A surgical method for repairing ligamentous tissue, comprising: introducing an elongate instrument into a patient's body such that at least a portion of the elongate instrument is positioned proximate the ligamentous tissue;placing a limiter on an opposite side of the ligamentous tissue, to preve
1. A surgical method for repairing ligamentous tissue, comprising: introducing an elongate instrument into a patient's body such that at least a portion of the elongate instrument is positioned proximate the ligamentous tissue;placing a limiter on an opposite side of the ligamentous tissue, to prevent a needle, extending from the elongate instrument and used for delivering a biocompatible fixative, from protruding beyond the ligamentous tissue to other tissue structures;denaturing at least a portion of the ligamentous tissue by delivering energy from an energy transmitting element on the elongate instrument to the ligamentous tissue to shrink or tighten the ligamentous tissue; andintroducing the biocompatible fixative into the denatured ligamentous tissue to retain the shrinkage or tightening of the ligamentous tissue. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the ligamentous tissue is a knee ligament. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the knee ligament is an anterior cruciate ligament. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the ligamentous tissue is denatured by creating one or more lesions in the ligamentous tissue. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein a long linear lesion is created from a line of smaller lesions to provide an asymmetric tightening of the ligamentous tissue along a vector of the linear lesion. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the two or more linear lesions are created from lines of smaller lesions to provide a symmetric tightening of the ligamentous tissue. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongate instrument is robotically controlled, the elongate instrument being actuatable by an instrument driver in response to signals generated by manipulation of a controller. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the energy transmitting element is an electrode for delivering radio frequency energy to heat the ligamentous tissue. 9. A surgical method for repairing a lax anterior cruciate ligament, comprising: introducing an arthroscope into a patient's knee to access a workspace proximate the anterior cruciate ligament;introducing a treatment probe through a working lumen of the arthroscope, so that a distal end portion of the treatment probe extends out of a distal opening of the arthroscope proximate the ligament;using an energy transmitting element on the distal end portion of the treatment probe to create one or more lesions in the ligament, wherein the energy transmitting element comprises a needle electrode that extends out of the treatment probe, and wherein the needle is used to deliver a biocompatible fixative to the one or more lesions;placing a limiter on an opposite side of the ligament, to prevent the needle from protruding beyond the ligament to other tissue structures; andintroducing the biocompatible fixative into the respective one or more lesions. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the energy transmitting element comprises a tissue surface contacting element. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the energy transmitting element comprises a tissue penetrating element. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein a needle-less tip is utilized to inject fixative into the one or more lesions. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the fixative is applied topically to the one or more lesions. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein the elongate instrument is robotically controlled.
