Uterosacral Ligament Suspension Clip

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pelvic Organ Prolapse

In brief

This study seeks to gain a more thorough understanding of the postoperative location of the sutures placed during uterosacral ligament suspension. Characterization of the surrounding anatomy in a living model will enhance surgical technique by delineating safer suture locations and decrease the incidence of morbid complications for patients.
