Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a single-port assisted three-incision robotic hysterectomy or myomectomy with manual morcellation using a scalpel, and to introduce our novel surgical technique.
Methods: Between October 2010 and July 2014, 16 patients underwent robotic hysterectomy and 50 patients underwent robotic myomectomy using a single-port assisted three-incision technique. Manual morcellation through a single-port site without power morcellation was used to remove the uterus or uterine fibroids.
Results: The mean operative times were 130.2 ± 32.6 min in the hysterectomy group and 178.8 ± 77.9 min in the myomectomy group. Intraoperative complications, including a rectal serosa injury and a small bowel injury, occurred in two cases. Three febrile morbidities occurred postoperatively. Finally, no complications were associated with manual morcellation.
Conclusions: Uterine tissues could be removed without any complications by manual morcellation within an endobag, using a scalpel. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Vaginal power morcellation using a contained bag system: a novel surgical technique.
Facts Views Vis Obgyn
December 2024
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.

Retained products of conception (RPOC) occur when the placenta does not properly separate from the uterine wall. The prevalence of RPOC varies between countries and the result of pregnancy, between vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, and miscarriage or dilation and curettage (D&C). Overall, RPOC has a higher incidence in developed countries where practices tend toward earlier manual removal of the placenta instead of waiting for spontaneous delivery.

This study evaluates the safety and surgical outcomes of performing robotic hysterectomy on uteri weighing over 1000 g, with a focus on the surgeon's learning curve. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 44 patients who underwent hysterectomy by a single surgeon from January 2020 to February 2024 using the DaVinci Xi System. Surgical procedures included total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy, and specimens were removed via transvaginal manual morcellation.

Objective: This study aims to describe the dome-type manual morcellation technique, a modified form of C-type incision, its comparative advantages over existing morcellation methods, the perioperative outcomes of trainees with varying experience levels, and the variables influencing morcellation speed based on our two years of experience.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy or hysterectomy using dome-type morcellation for tissue extraction at a tertiary teaching hospital between May 2020 and September 2022. Morcellation was performed by either a single surgeon or a trainee (resident).

: Mechanical hysteroscopic tissue removal (mHTR) systems are widely used for removing intrauterine pathology. Given the startup and procedural costs for electrically powered mechanical units, disposable manual mHTR systems have been developed. : With little published, we describe its effectiveness for hysteroscopic intrauterine polypectomy.
