Zusammenfassung:Methods and devices for reducing visceral fat within the mesenteric structure of the body by cooling visceral fat within the mesentery while leaving arteries, veins, nerves and lymph nodes within the mesentery, and the mesentery membrane, undamaged, and thereafter allowing natural processes of the body to eliminate the cooled visceral fat from the body. The system comprises a pair of flat-faced cooling probes configured for insertion into the abdomen and placement on opposite sides of a section of mesentery for application of cooling power to the mesentery, at temperatures in a range which kills visceral fat cells but does not harm other tissue.
