When I trained with Tony McCartney in Perth, we used an ordinary monofilament suture to close the vagina after a TLH. The suture was introduced through the transvaginal tube into the pelvis; we started suturing at 4 o’clock and did a continuous suture from the right to the left and backwards. Once finished we exteriorised the needle to tie the knot against the vagina.

Some mishaps happened occasionally. Less than once a year the anatomy would be so distorted that the indwelling catheter would get caught in the suture in which case we had to undo the suture and start again. One of my colleagues even managed to involve a minor labia in the suture and the patient had to be taken back to theatre. There were hardly any other problems.
