New methods for inserting slings and other material, wherein such methods may comprise a needle creating a pathway from a first insertion point to a first exit point that may thereafter be utilized as a second insertion point allowing for a change in direction to the needle pathway. A plurality of additional exit and re-insertion points may be repeated to provide a longer circuitous pathway, if so desired. A malleable needle may further allow unique pathways and needle angles when the needle's shape may be adjustable at each respective insertion point. A tapered device may form a final exit pathway having a tapered and reduced diameter that provides a greater friction fit between the implanted material and surrounding tissue. The present inventive method may further incorporate sling ends terminating from previously unused regions of the body including but not limited to the perineum, preprepubic, and supraobturator regions.
