AND THUS, CONTROL OF URINE IS RESTORED. THIS OPERATION IS DIFFICULT, EXHAUSTING AND ACCOMPANIED BY SIGNIFICANT BLOOD LOSS, BESIDES THE POTENTIAL RISK OF NEEDLE ACCIDENTS. THE VAGINAL MANIPULATOR ELIMINATES THIS RISK . IT CAN ALSO ALLOW CONTROL OF BLEEDING AND TAKING WIDER DEEPER STITCHES THROUGH THE GROOVE ON ITS TIP . THUS FACILITATING THE MOST IMPORTANT OPERATION FOR STRESS INCONTINENCE.
