A 39-year-old woman with type 1 genuine stress urinary incontinence was treated using a novel extraperitoneal laparoscopic bladder neck suspension procedure with a bone-anchor suture fixation system. Operative time and blood loss were 2.5 and 50 g, respectively. The patient showed a remarkable improvement on chain cystography and in subjective and objective well-being with no complications, even 12 months after surgery. Extraperitoneal laparoscopic bladder neck suspension using the bone-anchor suture fixation system is an easy and feasible procedure.
