A tissue insertion prosthesis system includes an expansible, multi-chambered implant for use in a tissue prosthesis receiving cavity, such that the implant includes an expansible envelope having a plurality of chambers. The system also includes a method of determining a size of a cavity at a site to be filled by a tissue prosthesis. Finally, the system includes a method to facilitate a removal of a biomaterial delivery device from an inflatable member that has been inserted into a cavity formed by the removal of a portion of a nuclear material from an intervertebral disc and to be filled by a tissue prosthesis. 1. An expansible , multi-chambered implant for use in a tissue prosthesis receiving cavity , comprising:an expansible envelope having a plurality of chambers, wherein the expansible envelope includes a first member, a second member and at least one collapsible partition extending in an interior of the expansible envelope between the first member and the second member; anda filler tube operatively connected to the expansible envelope such that the filler tube includes a plurality of delivery tubes, wherein one of the plurality of delivery tubes is operatively connected to one of the plurality of chambers and another of the plurality of delivery tubes is operatively connected to another of the plurality of chambers in order to independently fill each of the plurality of chambers.2. The expansible claim 1 , multi-chambered implant claim 1 , as in claim 1 , wherein the expansible envelope is further comprised of:a sidewall that interconnects the first member and the second member.3. The expansible claim 1 , multi-chambered implant claim 1 , as in claim 1 , wherein the collapsible partitions are configured to have strong compressive load bearing capabilities and are capable of collapsing when a shear force is applied to the collapsible partitions.4. The expansible claim 1 , multi-chambered implant claim 1 , as in claim 1 , wherein the expansible envelope is ...
