Come laterally through the vaginal epithelium-US-cardinal ligament complex, throw two times above the Babcock (make sure you don't go through the Babcock clamp) and then come out posterior on the ipsilateral side. Hold with a hemostat. After you close the cuff tie down and watch the cuff elevate. I use O Vicryl but some use Ethibond. I just don't want the permanent suture in the vaginal. I have only pinched the ureters once. Cysto with Indigo Carmine might be a good idea for your first few cases

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
