A tissue prosthesis 100 comprises an envelope 38 of a biologically inert,
elastically deformable material capable of being expanded to conform to
an interior surface of a cavity 36 formed at a site 10 in a patient's
body. A filler material 60 is received in a fluent state in the envelope
38. The filler material 60 is of the same class of material as the
envelope 38 to form, when cured, together with the envelope 38, a unified
structure.
