Device for needle suspensionsFrom: dahmd@gate.netTue Dec 5 19:33:31 1995
I am curious if anyone has experience with a device I saw recently made by Mitek. Apparently, after making the suprapubic incision for a needle colposuspension (modified Pereyra, Raz, etc) you drill small holes in the pubic symphysis, then place a bone anchor and finally place your colposuspension sutures through the anchor. It allegedly helps prevent suture pull-out and helps the surgeon tie down without overcorrecting the bladder neck angle. Since most suture pull-outs occur in the vaginal side of the repair, I wonder if this tool is useful. Does anyone have any experience with it or similar devices? Thanks in advance. D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
