to d 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 12).
