Comparison of Running V-Loc Suture Versus Interrupted Vicryl Suture for Vaginal Cuff Closure, a Retrospective Cohort Study

Study to determine if V-Loc Absorbable Wound Closure Device (Covidien, USA) compares favorably to traditional Vicryl suture for vaginal cuff closure. Two hundred consecutive patients who underwent robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indications were evaluated with regard to age, body mass index (BMI), estimated blood loss, and postoperative complications.
