Uterosacral Ligament Suspension Clip

United States17 participantsStarted 2016-03

Plain-language summary

This study seeks to gain a more thorough understanding of the postoperative location of the sutures placed during uterosacral ligament suspension. Characterization of the surrounding anatomy in a living model will enhance surgical technique by delineating safer suture locations and decrease the incidence of morbid complications for patients.
