Abstract
Increased awareness regarding risks associated with intracorporeal electromechanical, or power, morcellation has urged surgeons to develop alternative methodsfor tissue extraction thatmaymitigatesomeof these risks during surgery. The use of containment systems during laparoscopic procedures has allowed surgeons to continue to offer and perform myomectomies that still benefit from being minimally invasive but which may minimize the risk of inadvertent tissue dispersion.Here,wewillreviewtechniquesforperforming contained tissue fragmentation without the use of a power morcellator.
