Dilation of the vaginal cuff using the Bakri Postpartum Balloon to extract the large uterus at the time of robotic hysterectomy for endometrial carcinoma.

Removal of large uterine specimens during robotic or total laparoscopic hysterectomy poses surgical challenges, particularly in cases performed for gynecologic malignancy. A 23-year-old patient with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium underwent robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The large uterine specimen was removed by dilating the colpotomy incision using the Bakri Postpartum Balloon™.
