I'm doing a report dictated by a urologist, and he's doing a cystocele repair and urethrocele repair with Prolift and secure (or this could be Secur, as in the TVT Secur by Gynecare, but I don't know that for sure) synthetic graft. Anyway, he says a deep s/l European incision was then made over the vagina over the bladder area.
I've never heard of a European incision and can't document it in my search efforts thus far. I've checked my books and online references and am still looking......
