Re: Questions
A TLH or any hyst that removes the cervix means you'll have a vaginal cuff. That's just where they sew shut the area where they removed the uterus/cervix, and so there are internal stitches for that. That's just a quick explanation, I hope it makes sense.

Re: Questions
Greyown is correct. If you think tube sock, you will have a nice visual of what they do.
