About this trial

There is prove of prolapse prevention in vaginal hysterectomy using the McCall suture. Poor and especially no long-term data exists for a standardized laparoscopic approach, but the few studies could show good anatomic results.

The aim is to test the effectiveness of the laparoscopic McCall suture compared to usual vaginal cuff closure in a randomized controlled double-blinded trial.
