Comparison of the Technical Feasibility and Safety of Three Contained Morcellation Techniques: A Pilot Study in an Animal Model

ConclusionWith preventing specimen leakage being the main aim of contained morcellation, the bag used for power morcellation needs improvement. Although manual morcellation requires an umbilical wound of about 25 mm, the absence of bag damage, acceptable total morcellation time, relatively low CO2 consumption, and non-use of a power device, which translate to an economic benefit, lead us to conclude that manual morcellation will remain advantageous into the future.
