The purpose of this study is to test a robotic uterine manipulator system called the Barakat
Automated Uterine Manipulator (BAUM), which will assist the surgeon in moving and positioning
the uterus during a hysterectomy. This new device will allow the surgeon to control the
movements of the robotic arm directly instead of giving verbal instructions to a staff
member. The BAUM has never been used during surgeries before this trial. Overall, the study
goal is to determine whether the use of this robotic uterine manipulator system can be safely
used in the operating room while improving surgeon control during the procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Female participant must be scheduled for a total laparoscopic or robotic-assisted
hysterectomy for a gynecologic condition

- Female participants must be 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:

- Female participant is not eligible if the surgeon does not plan to use a uterine
manipulator
