Transvaginal Electromechanical Fragmentation and Removal of Large Uterus in a Sealed Bag: The First Group of Clinical Studies Balancing Scar - Free and Anti - Dissemination
Transvaginal Electromechanical Fragmentation and Removal of Large Uterus in a Sealed Bag: The First Group of Clinical Studies Balancing Scar - Free and Anti - Dissemination
This study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of transvaginal in-bag electromechanical morcellation for specimen extraction in patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy for large uteri.
This single-center prospective study investigates a novel transvaginal specimen extraction technique using a sealed containment bag combined with electromechanical morcellation. The procedure aims to improve specimen extraction efficiency while preventing tissue dissemination during laparoscopic hysterectomy for uteri larger than 12-week gestational size.
Inclusion Criteria:
Female patients aged 38 to 52 years
Planned to undergo total laparoscopic hysterectomy
Uterine size greater than 12 weeks gestational size based on preoperative imaging
Eligible for transvaginal specimen extraction
Able and willing to provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
Advanced gynecologic malignancy
Severe pelvic obliteration preventing transvaginal access
Contraindication to laparoscopic surgery
Pregnancy
Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent
