Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Angle stitchExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If the allocation corresponds to "Angle stitch", surgeon will use 0 polyglactin 910 suture on a tapered needle to place figure of 8 sutures on both (left and right) apexes. Knot tying technique (intra-corporeal vs extracorporeal) will be up to surgeon preference. After this is completed, barbed suture will be used to re-approximate the remainder of the vaginal cuff from right to left, backtracking once at the end for reinforcement.
Group II: controlActive Control1 Intervention
If the subject's group corresponds to "Control group", the surgeon will re-approximate the cuff in a standard fashion, using a running-barbed suture (2-0 V-LOC 90 with tapered needle), starting at the right apex, moving towards the left, and then back-tracking once to further reinforce the closure.
