Feasibility of myomatous tissue extraction in laparoscopic surgery by contained in – bag morcellation: A retrospective single arm study

Abstract

in - bag morcellation through endobag (Morsafe^®) proved to be a safe laparoscopic method in retrieval of myomatous tissue, potentially reducing the risk of dissemination and thereby improving the patients' safety avoiding spreading of benign disease and malignancy, but preserving the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. The advantages concerned not only the operating time and costs, but also the safety aspects in case of malignancy. As the system can help to reduce risk of cell dissemination it could also reduce the risk in case of occult malignancy.
