Abstract
An orthopedic instrument, the Shutt Suture Punch System, has allowed rapid (less than 1 minute) and safe introduction of the suspending suture through the sacrospinous ligament, especially in the morbidly obese patient. Residents-in-training have performed the sacrospinous vaginal suspension on 30 patients without complications. The remaining aspects of the operation are unchanged.
