Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
  • Surgical Technology
  • Uterine Pathology Management

Background:

  • Uterine morcellation is a common surgical procedure.
  • Concerns exist regarding the intraperitoneal dispersion of tissue fragments during morcellation.
  • Contained morcellation techniques aim to mitigate these risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two distinct step-by-step techniques for contained morcellation of uterine tissue.
  • To illustrate the procedural steps using instructional video content.
  • To highlight the safety and efficacy of these contained methods.

Main Methods:

  • Demonstration of laparoscopic electromechanical morcellation within an endoscopic containment pouch.
  • Description of tissue extraction via ultra-minilaparotomy using a containment pouch.
  • Detailed explanation of instrument placement and specimen retrieval for both techniques.

Main Results:

  • Contained morcellation is technically feasible and efficient, with an average additional operative time of 30 minutes.
  • These techniques effectively prevent intraperitoneal dispersion of uterine tissue fragments.
  • Over 100 procedures have been safely performed, removing specimens up to 1,500 grams.

Conclusions:

  • The described contained morcellation techniques establish a new standard for uterine tissue removal.
  • These methods enable the minimally invasive removal of extensive uterine pathology.
  • Surgeons can adopt these techniques to enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes.
