Three Techniques of Contained Morcellation for the Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon.

Since 1993 (and prior, WISAP® [WISAP Medical Technology GmbH, Brunnthal, Germany] hand morcellators), laparoscopic power morcellation has been an indispensably employed technique for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, contributing both to laparoscopic myomectomies and hysterectomies. However, the technique was highlighted with concern by the FDA for the given potential to disseminate neoplastic and non-neoplastic cells by morcellating an unexpected uterine sarcoma (Fig. 1).
