A method for treating stenosis in a spine comprises percutaneously accessing the epidural space in a stenotic region of interest, compressing the thecal sac in the region of interest to form a safety zonem, inserting a tissue removal tool into tissue in the working zone, using the tool to percutaneously reduce the stenosis; and utilizing imaging to visualize the position of the tool during at least a part of the reduction step. A tissue excision system for performing percutaneous surgery, comprises a cannula comprising a tissue-penetrating member having a distal end defining an aperture on one side thereof, an occluding member slidably received on or in the cannula and closing the aperture when the occluding member is adjacent the cannula distal end, means for engaging adjacent tissue via the aperture, and cutting means for resecting a section of the engaged tissue.

A method for treating spinal stenosis is disclosed. The method can include generating a view of a portion of the spinal canal and compressing the dural sac by injecting a fluid to form a safety zone and establish a working zone, wherein the safety zone can be between the working zone and the dural sac. The method can also include percutaneously accessing the epidural space on a first side of the median plane, inserting a tissue removal tool into tissue in the working zone on the first side of the median plane, and using the tissue removal tool to percutaneously reduce a stenosis on the first side of the median plane.

A therapeutic device has a first chamber that retains an oxalic ester solution, and a second chamber that retains a hydrogen peroxide and fluorescer solution. The therapeutic device is activated by causing the oxalic ester solution to mix with the hydrogen peroxide and fluorescer solution, which produces chemiluminescent light for treating a wound.
