Investigation of the Effect of Horizontal and Vertical Vaginal Cuff Closure on Postoperative Total Vaginal Length in Patients Undergoing Vaginal Hysterectomy and Lateral Suspension
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
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.

Treatments
Active_comparator: Horizontal Vaginal Cuff Closure
Patients in this group will undergo vaginal hysterectomy with lateral suspension, followed by horizontal closure of the vaginal cuff using standard suturing technique. The effect on postoperative total vaginal length will be evaluated.
Active_comparator: Vertical Vaginal Cuff Closure
Patients in this group will undergo vaginal hysterectomy with lateral suspension, followed by vertical closure of the vaginal cuff using standard suturing technique. Postoperative vaginal length outcomes will be compared to those of the horizontal closure group.
