An intrauterine cavity morcellator: A novel approach to high volume uterus morcellation. Ex-vivo study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Uterine size is one of the essential factors determining the feasibility of a minimally invasive gynecologic surgery approach. A traditional electromechanical morcellator is a well-known tool but not without flaws. We aim to assess feasibility and safety of a novel intrauterine power morcellation device for uterine size reduction to overcome these limitations during hysterectomy.

Methods

This single-arm, observational study was conducted in a single tertiary care medical center from April 2022 to July 2022. Feasibility and safety of a novel intrauterine morcellation device for uterine size reduction was tested in ten post-hysterectomy uteri (Ex-vivo).

Measurements and main results

Ten uteri were examined in this trial. No major complications occurred during
