ABSTRACT:
The incision-free pubovaginal suspension due to Gittes and Loughlin is improved by simultaneous gas obturation and visual monitoring using a suprapubic endoscope, inserted with the aid of a urethral trocar. It is further improved by simultaneous manipulation of the urethra, bladder and other tissues by the trocar, to optimize alignment for the Gittes procedures. The trocar, and procedure for its use, are refinements of the present inventor's earlier apparatuses and procedures for suprapubic cystostomy with endoscopy, and for gas obturation.
