Advantages and Disadvantages of Anchor and Suture Tape Stabilization of Pubic Symphysis Instability

Advantages Disadvantages
Minimally invasive Requires a general surgeon with laparoscopic skills
Less rigid construct Technically challenging
Allows more physiological motion Risk of aberrant anchor placement
Smaller wounds Undertensioning may lead to continued pain
Less postoperative pain Risk of inadvertent symphysis destabilization
Less hernia risk Rely on implant
No need for hardware removal
