Summary

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.

Conditions

• Vaginal Vault Prolapse
• Sexual Function

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	McCall culdoplasty	The modified McCall Culdoplasty procedure is a relatively simple procedure that is performed after removal of the uterus and cervix from the apex of the vagina wherein the angles of the vagina are attached to their respective uterosacral ligament and the cul-de-sac is surgically obliterated for support postoperatively. This is done with a single 0-vicryl suture. There will be no additional interventions applied during the hysterectomy aside from the McCall culdoplasty.
