ABSTRACT:
A ligature carrier for use in a suspensory-type operation known as the Revised Pereyra Procedure, which corrects prolapse of the bladder neck in women. The ligature carrier comprises an angulated needle with two aligned striated flat handles, one slidable in a brace with respect to the other to extend and retract the needle. When retracted the angulated end of the needle protrudes about 3 cm; the aligned handles provide improved control to penetrate the abdominal fascia and orient the needle thereafter. In the operation the tough fascia is so penetrated, the carrier suitably redirected, and the needle extended out through the vaginal opening by sliding the needle handle in the brace. Sutures are then threaded through the eye at the needle tip and the needle retracted.
