Summary

This study looks at whether using a uterine manipulator during hysterectomy changes sexual function three months after surgery. Sixty women having a hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons will be randomly assigned to have the surgery with or without the tool. The main goal is to compare sexual function scores between the two groups.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help surgeons choose a technique that better preserves sexual function after hysterectomy.
