Vaginal power morcellation using a contained bag system: a novel surgical technique
Background:
To decrease the risk of unsuspected malignancies disseminating, several studies have shown the safety of using a containment bag to limit tissue dissemination during manual or power morcellation. Furthermore, in 2020, the FDA recommended performing laparoscopic power morcellation for myomectomy or hysterectomy only within a tissue containment system.
Objective:
To show step-by-step a new surgical technique using vaginal power morcellation within an endoscopic pouch without adding or extending other incisions.
Materials And Methods:
Video article describing vaginal power morcellation.
Results:
To perform power morcellation through vaginal introit, additional operative time was only 13 minutes.
Conclusions:
Vaginal power morcellation using a contained bag system is technically feasible and efficient. Furthermore, it may prevent intraperitoneal dissemination of tissue fragments whilst minimising the need for additional surgical incisions.
