suspensory ligament torn and LigaSure cautery was used to transect the ovary and uterine horn from
the broad ligament. The left ovary and uterine horn were mobilized using the same technique. A
single modified millers knot ligature using 2-0 PDS was placed around the uterine body above the
cervix. The uterus was severed using a #10 scalpel blade distal to the ligature. No hemorrhage
observed from the uterine stump.

The abdomen was inspected and hemostasis confirmed.
