NCT ID NCT07308197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether starting a hysterectomy by cutting the back of the vagina (posterior colpotomy first) helps keep the vagina longer compared to the usual method. Eighty women having a hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons took part. The main goal was to measure any difference in vaginal length after surgery.
