title: Colposacropexy: an alternative technique.
abstract: Colposacropexy procedures restore anatomically correct apical vaginal support on the levator plate at the ischial spine level. Venous hemorrhage resulting from laceration of presacral veins during suture fixation is the major hazard of this procedure. Titanium orthopedic bone anchor fixation minimizes this risk through precision placement of the bone anchor-suture unit.
