Recently, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published an alert about the risks of uterine tissue morcellation during laparoscopic procedures. In particular, the possible risk of spreading an undiagnosed malignant tumor was emphasized. From then on, a fervent debate in the media has led major scientific societies to express their position on the matter. We present a safe endobag abdominal morcellation in a single port-access laparoscopy subtotal hysterectomy. The endobag abdominal morcellation is feasible and safe; consequently, the development of devices dedicated to intracavitary morcellation in a closed system has been encouraged.

Study Objective: Anatomic anomalies of the female reproductive genital tract affect approximately 5.5% of women [1]. The hemiuterus or class U4 by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology / European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy 2013 classification is a rare congenital malformation defined as a unilateral uterine development, with a contralateral part that could be either incompletely formed or absent.

Minimally invasive approach is a well-established strategy in the initial exploration or definitive management of the eligible gynecological cancers. It provides the benefits of improved surgical recovery to the patients. However, the last step of the specimen extraction through the smallest incision possible is always challenging for most of the surgeons.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and reproductive outcomes of patients treated with myomectomy who were histologically diagnosed with uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP).
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with STUMP and underwent a myomectomy at our institution between October 2003 and October 2019 were identified. Variables of interest obtained from the institution's database included patient age, relevant medical history, pre-operative appearance of the tumor on ultrasound, parameters of the surgical procedure, histopathological analysis of the tumor, post-operative clinical course, and course of follow-up, including reinterventions and fertility outcomes.

Objective: Prior studies have demonstrated robotic excision of cardiac tumors as a safe and effective treatment option. The procedure is performed with five incisions: three robotic arm ports, one atrial retractor port, and one working port. We report our unique initial experience in robotic tumor removal.
