Summary

Aim: Laparoscopic hysterectomy is the vaginal removal of the uterus with the help of laparoscopy. After the uterus is removed after hysterectomy, vaginal length is shortened by cuff suturing, resulting in conditions such as dyspareunia and sexual dysfunction . Hysterectomy may also affect women physically and psychologically, as well as causing changes in sexual functions . In patients planned to undergo hysterectomy; Changes that may occur in sexual functions cause serious concerns during the preoperative period. However, physicians often miss these important points and do not discuss these issues adequately with patients. In this study; We aimed to compare the effects of vaginal cuff closure techniques in laparoscopic hysterectomy on vaginal length and women's sexual life. We used the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale to assess women's sexual life.
