Figure 1. Uterine suture technique. The uterus is closed by 2 sutures starting from either end of the wound. a The first suture stitch is placed slightly medially from the anatomical corner of the wound. The same suture thread is used to make 2-4 more continuous sutures and the ends of the suture thread are knotted. b Analogously a second suture thread is used to close the uterine wall starting from the other side. c Both sutures are knotted in the middle and d subsequently the suture is buried by knotting the suture threads (from (9)).
