Abstract

Novel principles for treating urological and gastric fluid reflux disorders are disclosed involving the injection of textured micro particles (30) wherein the textured micro particles having a combination of average unidimensional particle size range and average particle texture cooperate substantially to prevent loss of the micro particles from any injection site (31).
