Abstract

An apparatus and a surgical method for supporting body organs to treat urinary incontinence by supporting the urethra and bladder neck are described, including construction, material selection, introducer tools and surgical methods for self-anchoring urethral slings to support the urethra and bladder for treatment of female urinary incontinence. The device includes a modular, self-locking anchor for fixation of surgical mesh in target tissue. The apparatus is also useful for repair and reconstruction of prolapsed pelvic floor body organs.
