Questions ~ vaginal cuff and stitches

Ok I'm having a TLH on the 9th and was wondering what a vaginal cuff is and will I have to have one? And if I'm going to have stiches in the inside?

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.

Yes it does thanks.

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

I will be having the DaVinci and I am wondering to have my uterus removed.. do I have to have my cervix removed also?

No you don't not unless your doctor says it needs be taken if you had abnormal pap test etc.

But if he leaves it ask your doctor about mini periods I have head if yo leave the cervics and ovaries you could have them but most doctors do the ablation I guess that's how you spell it so you will not have them

Ok.. I was just curious.. I'm having both cervix and uterus removed... thanks Jen!
