**3.6 Final step**

Hemostasis and final inspection and pelvis irrigation and aspiration. We check vascular pedicles, vaginal vaults, ureters, and bladder. We check the presence of unapparent injuries in surrounding structures. We lower intra-abdominal pressure to 9 mmHg to see the hemostasis efficiency. We practice routine pelvic drainage for 24 h to prevent postoperative bleeding.

Undocking the platform is the next step. The trochars are removed under direct vision and we check parietal hemostasis. The pneumoperitoneum is exusuflated.

We close the fascia of the umbilical and assistant port. The skin incisions are closed with a subcuticular suture.
