The surgical apparatus (10) includes a rigid anchor member (110) having an open proximal end (112), a flexible member (120) having a closed distal end (124) and a string (130) attached thereto. The flexible member (120) is configured to invert upon pulling the string (130) in a proximal direction to expose the closed distal end (124) proximally beyond the open proximal end (112).1/5 130 112 110 120 "H" 124b 106 105 FIG. 1
