Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible impacts of two techniques of vaginal cuff closure during robotic hysterectomy. We aim to compare vertical vs horizontal vaginal cuff closure and the impact that these techniques have on vaginal length, sexual function, and overall complication rates.
