To review the vaginal cuff complications from a large series of total laparoscopic hysterectomies in which the laparoscopic culdotomy closure was highly standardized.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-3) of consecutive total and radical laparoscopic hysterectomy patients with all culdotomy closures performed laparoscopically was conducted using three guidelines: placement of all sutures 5\u2009mm deep from the vaginal edge with a 5\u2009mm interval, incorporation of the uterosacral ligaments with the pubocervical fascia at each angle, and, whenever possible, suturing the bladder peritoneum over the vaginal cuff edge utilizing two suture types of comparable tensile strength. Four outcomes are reviewed: dehiscence, bleeding, infection, and adhesions.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Of 1924 patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy, 44 patients (2.29%) experienced a vaginal cuff complication, with 19 (0.99%) requiring reoperation. Five patients (0.26%) had dehiscence after sexual penetration on days 30\u201383, with 3 requiring reoperation. Thirteen patients (0.68%) developed bleeding, with 9 (0.47%) requiring reoperation. Twenty-three (1.20%) patients developed infections, with 4 (0.21%) requiring reoperation. Three patients (0.16%) developed obstructive small bowel adhesions to the cuff requiring laparoscopic lysis.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. A running 5\u2009mm deep \u00d7 5\u2009mm apart culdotomy closure that incorporates the uterosacral ligaments with the pubocervical fascia, with reperitonealization when possible, appears to be associated with few postoperative vaginal cuff complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/1372685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,4]],"date-time":"2016-08-04T17:00:53Z","timestamp":1470330053000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Analysis
