30: Preoperative evaluation with MRI and LDH testing in patients undergoing intra-abdominal surgery for fibroids: Effect on surgical route

The use of power morcellation has been restricted in many centers due to concerns for inadvertent spread of an undiagnosed leiomyosarcoma. Our institution implemented a preoperative protocol to avoid power morcellation in high risk cases. In this retrospective cohort study, we report the impact of this protocol on institutional surgical practice patterns, and the influence of MRI and LDH results on surgical route.
