Abstract:
Fibroid tissue extraction during hysterectomy and myomectomy has become increasingly controversial. A wave of research has tried to clarify difficult questions around the prevalence of occult malignancies, the effect of morcellation on cancer outcomes, proper informed consent, and surgical options for tissue extraction. This review examines the history of these controversies and discusses tissue extraction techniques and continued areas of debate in the field.
