title: Bone fixation technique for transvaginal needle suspension.
abstract: The transvaginal needle suspension procedure coupled with the bone fixation technique provides excellent restoration of continence without causing outflow obstruction. The surgical procedure is precise, with a significant decrease in postoperative pain and discomfort when the pubic tubercle is utilized as the fixation point for the suspension sutures.
