title: A new needle suspension procedure for genuine stress incontinence and anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
abstract: A new suspension method was developed for the correction of anterior vaginal wall relaxation and genuine stress incontinence. This procedure suspends the anterior vaginal wall to the anterior rectus fascia, and in doing so gives support to the bladder neck, anterior vaginal wall and vaginal apex. The procedure is performed at the time of vaginal hysterectomy or correction of anterior vaginal wall relaxation. The authors present their experience with this technique in 31 patients.
