The latter. If concerned, yes, with indigo carmine injections

Most of the members of my department perform a bilateral uterosacral
ligament suspension (by performing each side separately) for TLH or TVH
procedures (we don't do too many TAH's any more). Other than a little
increased OR time, the main concern is ureteral injury or kinking.
Richard, do you routinely perform cystoscopies after laparoscopic USL
suspensions (assuming you use this procedure for suspensions) or do you
feel the post-procedure visualization of normal peristalsis is adequate?
Thanks, Ashley.
