Closing the vagina is the final step of hysterectomy. We close the vagina by continuous uninterrupted sutures in one layer, including enough width of the vaginal mucosa, fascia, and uterosacral ligaments to strengthen pelvic support. We use resorbable suture (Vycril no. 1) or barbed suture No.00 (**Figure 20**).
