Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedures
  • Surgical safety

Background:

  • Unprotected power morcellation risks spreading undiagnosed malignancy.
  • A novel containment bag with closable trocar sites was developed to mitigate this risk.
  • This pilot study aimed to assess the device's feasibility in routine clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of a new containment bag for laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficiency of the device in reducing malignancy spread during morcellation.

Main Methods:

  • Ten laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomies were performed using a 2000 ml polyurethane containment bag.
  • The study evaluated the time for bag insertion and in-bag morcellation.
  • All procedures utilized a three-trocar setup.

Main Results:

  • No intraoperative complications or bag ruptures were observed in ten procedures.
  • Mean time for bag insertion and specimen preparation was 10.5 minutes.
  • Mean morcellation time was 10.5 minutes, with an average of 12.1g of residual tissue/fluid.

Conclusions:

  • The containment endobag is suitable for routine clinical application in gynecologic surgery.
  • Further research is needed to explore learning curves and specific time requirements.
  • The device shows promise in enhancing safety during power morcellation procedures.
