Summary

This study looks at different methods doctors use to close the vaginal cuff after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). The goal is to see which technique helps preserve vaginal length and improve sexual function. Researchers will measure vaginal length with ultrasound and use a questionnaire to assess sexual health in perimenopausal women who had surgery for non-cancer reasons.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If this study finds a better closure technique, it could help doctors reduce sexual problems after hysterectomy.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not lead to clear changes in practice, and individual outcomes vary.
