Conditions

• Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Laparoscopic - Vaginal Cuff Closure	All participants are scheduled for either laparoscopic or robotic assisted total hysterectomy. At the end of the hysterectomy the vaginal cuff is closed. In this arm the vaginal cuff will be close laparoscopically using an 0-Barbed suture.
PROCEDURE	Vaginal- Vaginal Cuff Closure	All participants are scheduled for either laparoscopic or robotic assisted total hysterectomy. At the end of the hysterectomy the vaginal cuff is closed. In this arm the vaginal cuff will be close vaginally using an 0-Vicryl suture in a vertical fashion.
