When the complete uterus with cervix is removed, you have a vaginal cuff. You can read more about it here: Vaginal Cuff - What Is It?

Many ladies ask about the vaginal cuff, you are not the first and you won't be the last, so your question is not stupid at all! s

A real stupid question

I asked my doctor to explain it to me and he even drew a picture. He's no artist but it helped me understand what was done in there.

Cuff sounds weird to me, like they add or really change something, but my understanding is that it's just the area at the top that gets stitched a bit after they remove the cervix.

My doctor said they cut around the cervix, pull it out, and then sew the opening closed.
