Abstract

The principal aim of this study was to create a more efficient method of suturing the vaginal flaps using the 'double-breasted' flap repair technique, in order to prevent tearing out, a principal reason for postoperative failure. The preliminary results in 21 patients using both 'free tapes' and permanent sling methods indicate that the new technique appears give a markedly improved primary cure rate.
