Monocryl absorable: Vaginoplasty excision is closed with 2:0 monocryl sutures in the main floor of the vagina. A 2:0 monocryl with a ur-6 needle is used to tighten the muscle sling. The perineal incision is closed with a 5:0 monocryl and a 5:0 fast absorbing gut suture. All of these vaginoplastysutures are dissolvable.
