Apical Support After Benign Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Vaginal Cuff Closure Techniques

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to determine whether laparoscopic closure of the vaginal cuff after benign laparoscopic hysterectomy provides superior pelvic floor support compared to vaginal closure techniques. The randomized controlled trial found no significant differences in apical support between the two closure methods at both 6-8 weeks and 1 year postoperatively. Ultimately, the results suggest that the choice of closure technique may not impact pelvic floor support outcomes in the studied population.
