Vesicoscopic Ureteral Reimplantation: A Minimally Invasive Technique for the Definitive Repair of Vesicoureteral Reflux
Figure 2
(a) Spinal needle has pushed
suture into bladder creating pulling loop. (b) Spinal needle passed
through pulling loop via an adjacent puncture. (c) With needle through
pulling loop, one free end of the suture is passed through spinal needle and
thus the pulling loop. (d) Removal of spinal needle
results in suture being snared by pulling loop. Subsequent retraction of
pulling loop creates through-and-through suture which can then be tied fixing
bladder to abdominal wall.
