Vaginal Cuff Closure by Modification of the Bakay Technique in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Modified Bakay technique offers a novel colpotomy and cuff closure technique for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), and consists of placing a single continuous running purse-string suture facilitating the cuff closure before colpotomy. The modified Bakay technique adds a standard apical compartment support and has the potential to facilitate the primary healing of the vaginal cuff. This study aimed to compare the surgical and clinical outcomes of the Modified Bakay technique to conventional standard technique in patients undergoing TLH.
