[Closure of the vagina after colpohysterectomy using an automatic suture forceps (author's transl)].
Closure of the lower third of the vagina using a TA 55 automatic suture forceps is an easy procedure which offers the best guarantee from a septic and haemostatic standpoint during the peroperative phase. We have used the technique on 50 occasions. In all cases, it gave a linear vaginal scar without granuloma. Used in association with sub-peritoneal suction drainage it brings about a reduction in the number of lymphoceles and their complications.
