Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gynecological Procedures
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery offers significant advantages for hysterectomy and gynecological procedures.
  • Power morcellation is a key technique for removing surgical specimens.
  • Challenges exist in safely containing specimens during power morcellation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of performing power morcellation within a specimen bag.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of contained power morcellation.
  • To determine if this technique is reliable for large specimens.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 187 patients undergoing laparoscopic or robot-assisted hysterectomy/myomectomy.
  • Contained electromechanical power morcellation utilized the Espiner EcoSac 230 specimen bag.
  • Descriptive statistics analyzed patient demographics, procedure details, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • 187 procedures included 73.8% myomectomies and 26.2% hysterectomies.
  • Average specimen weight was 300g (up to 2134g); average blood loss was 98.4mL.
  • No specimen bag failures or morcellation-related complications occurred; 2.1% readmission rate.

Conclusions:

  • Electromechanical power morcellation within the Espiner EcoSac 230 bag is feasible and safe.
  • The technique demonstrated reliability and reproducibility in a clinical setting.
  • Contained power morcellation is a viable option, even for large surgical specimens.
