Vaginal versus laparoscopic Closure of vault in laparoscopic Hysterectomy- a prospective Observational study

Abstract

Introduction: This study evaluates vaginal and laparoscopic vault closure methods subsequent to Laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign diseases. One critical step in laparoscopic hysterectomy is the closure of the vaginal vault, which can significantly influence postoperative outcomes, including complications such as bleeding, infection, and vault prolapse. Methodology: A prospective observational study was performed on patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. Data was gathered from patient records, including demographics, surgical reasons, intraoperative information, and postoperative problems (pain, vaginal discharge, bleeding) at discharge, and 7-10 days post-discharge.
