Prophylactic Modified McCall Culdoplasty During Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Vaginal Vault Prolapse, Sexual Function

In brief

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of performing prophylactic McCall culdoplasty at the time of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The investigators will also be measuring pelvic support (using POP-Q) and sexual function before and at different time points (up to 12 months) postoperatively. The investigators hypothesize that women undergoing the McCall culdoplasty will not have different immediate surgical outcomes (operative time, etc) and may have better pelvic support and sexual function in the future.
