titleOfInvention | Surgical apparatus and methods for delivery of a sling in the treatment of female urinary incontinence |
abstract | Surgical apparatus (10) for treating female stress urinary incontinence include a pair of curved delivery needles (12a, 12b), each defining a distal end and a proximal end and adapted to be inserted into the abdomen of a female and to be positioned on either side of the bladder neck so as to define a delivery path for a tape (64) which may be removably attached to the proximal ends of the delivery needles (12a, 12b) through the vagina for implantation into the abdomen to provide support for the urethra. A pair of curved delivery sheaths (46), each adapted to be inserted into the abdomen around one of the delivery needles (12a, 12b), allow withdrawal of the delivery needles (12a, 12b) from the abdomen such that the tape (64) is conducted along the delivery path. In the preferred embodiment, the delivery needles (12a, 12b) also allows simultaneous introduction of a local anesthetic into the abdomenal tissues. Methods for treatment of stress urinary incontinence utilizing the surgical apparatus (10) are also disclosed. |
