Abstract
A method of addressing pelvic dysfunction in a patient includes forming an incision; placing an anchor that is attached to a support member by an interconnecting member onto a distal tip of a tool; inserting the distal tip of the tool and the anchor into the incision and guiding the anchor to an obturator foramen; pushing the anchor through a membrane extending over the obturator foramen; and adjusting the support member by sliding the interconnecting member relative to the anchor.
