Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Gynecology
Surgical Technology

Background:

Laparoscopic surgery is a common approach in gynecology.
Specimen retrieval can be a challenge, potentially increasing costs and operative time.
Existing retrieval methods may be expensive or cumbersome for small specimens.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple and cost-effective technique for retrieving small specimens during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
To demonstrate the utility of a modified pediatric urine bag for this purpose.

Main Methods:

A modified pediatric urine bag was utilized for specimen retrieval.
The technique was applied during gynecologic laparoscopic procedures involving small specimens.

Main Results:

The modified urine bag provided a simple and effective means of retrieving small specimens.
This technique offers a potential reduction in surgical costs.

Conclusions:

The described method is a low-cost, practical solution for specimen retrieval in gynecologic laparoscopy.
This technique can enhance efficiency and reduce expenses in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures.
