Abstract

An end effector structure provided for an ablation apparatus, optionally having a covering balloon structure made from a compliant material such as rubber like materials, as for example silicone, including an antenna to emit microwave energy for cavity ablation that is covered with microwave energy absorbing and heat radiating material so that when end effector inserted into the body cavity, the balloon is filled up with liquid and balloon stretches to conform to a profile of the cavity to be ablated, and the applied microwave energy heats the liquid inside the balloon and heat energy to ablate or otherwise treat the body cavity tissue contacted with the compliant end effector. Other embodiments without the covering balloon apply heat directly to the cavity with the heated liquid.
