Design: Intra-op demonstration
Setting: In the OR using the Da Vinci robot. Patient is in Lithotomy
Patients or Participants: Sample size of 1 patient, Large uterus hysterectomy
Interventions: Creating a Woo's Window with early coagulation of uterine vessels at the colpotomy site in order to reduce blood loss through out the case
Measurements and Main Results: Measuring blood loss based on total EBL at the end of the case
Conclusion: Creating a Woo's Window with early coagulation of uterine vessels at the colpotomy site can minimize blood loss during large uterus hysterectomy
