Brief Summary

It is still debatable whether that the transvaginal approach to vault closure or laparoscopic suturing are associated with lower risks of vaginal cuff complications . This study aims to compare the two approaches of closure of the vaginal cuff at the end of total laparoscopic hysterectomy as regards the vaginal cuff complications .
