The document describes the development and use of a new 20mm straight needle for suturing during non-descent vaginal hysterectomies. The author details the challenges of using a standard 40mm half-circle needle in the narrow space of the vagina. He developed a shorter straight needle that allows for easier insertion and handling compared to the half-circle needle. Over 9 years and 3000 surgeries, the author found the straight needle to be more convenient, time-saving, and less strenuous on the wrist joints during suturing for non-descent vaginal hysterectomies.
