Prevalence of Occult Malignancy Within Morcellated Specimens Removed During Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy

Conclusions: Power morcellation is a low-risk procedure with laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy. Universal screening is highly effective in detecting occult malignancy and in our small series eliminated the risk; studies in multiple institutions will be needed to determine its effectiveness in other hospital systems.
