A method and device for suspending, stabilizing, and/or slightly compressing a bodily structure, such as a urethrovesical junction. The device comprising a delivery needle with a trocar, a stylet for being matingly received into the delivery needle, and a support formed by an anchor toggle and elongate first and second sutures. A longitudinal slot can be disposed at the distal end of the delivery needle for allowing the sutures to protrude therefrom. The delivery needle can have a curve with the slot and a base of the trocar disposed on an inside of the curve. An aligning handle, visual and tactile orientation indicators, and depth indicators can be disposed on the delivery needle for allowing a determination of the orientation, depth, and location of the distal end of the delivery needle. A sling can be used to spread a supporting force of the sutures over a greater area.
