ABSTRACT:
Methods, compositions, and systems useful to enhance a thermal surgical procedure are described. Compositions include at least one compound effective to induce an inflammatory response in biological material identified to undergo a thermal surgical procedure. Methods and systems include providing compositions of the invention to biological materials and treating biological materials with an inflammation inducing composition for a time, amount, and type effective to induce inflammation in at least a portion of the biological material.
