About this trial
This prospective clinical study aims to evaluate the impact of vaginal cuff closure orientation-horizontal versus vertical-on postoperative total vaginal length in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy combined with lateral suspension. By comparing anatomical outcomes between the two closure techniques, the study seeks to determine which method better preserves vaginal length, potentially influencing surgical preferences and postoperative quality of life.
Eligibility criteria
