Dramatically reduced incidence of vaginal cuff dehiscence in gynecologic patients undergoing endoscopic closure with barbed sutures: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Vaginal cuff separation subsequent to laparoscopic closure is a rare occurrence. While our incidence of VCD was low and comparable to other reported rates in the literature, we did not observe any cases of VCD following laparoscopic hysterectomy performed with barbed suture closure.
