Study Summary

This study compares outcomes among patients having a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. This involves removing the uterus and cervix using a laparoscopic or keyhole technique. The top of the vagina is routinely sutured closed after this procedure and this study is comparing two different suture materials for this purpose. One suture material is a barbed suture that has the advantage of maintaining good tension and closure on the wound. The other is a standard smooth suture that is commonly used for this procedure. The investigators are comparing the time it takes to close the vaginal cuff, as well as bleeding after surgery and the healing of the top of the vagina.
