Time savings using the Steiner morcellator in laparoscopic myomectomy

A newly developed morcellator creates a new dimension in minimally invasive surgery

“…A rate of 6.2 g/min was reported for the Steiner morcellators. 21 We also achieved a removal rate of 14.7 g/min with the morcellator. With the Rotocut G1, however, we achieved a rate nearly more than twice this at 28.8 g/min.…”

“…The tissue obtained was also suitable for complete histologic assessment, which was not the case with earlier morcellators. 21 The mechanical morcellator from Gynecare, the DIVA device, is a single-use device. It also has internal seals to maintain the pneumoperitoneum like our newly developed morcellator.…”

Cómo hacer la cirugía laparoscópica más simple

“…Cada cirugía a realizar tiene, además, instrumental específico, como por ejemplo el morcelador para la miomectomía (2-3-4-5) o el movilizador uterino para la histerectomía total (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

Management of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Is Hysterectomy the Radical Mastectomy of Gynecology?

“…Highquality evidence from 3 randomized trials suggests that both sexual and bladder function are similar after total hysterectomy and SCH. [116][117][118] The advent of electromechanical laparoscopic morcellators, originally designed for myoma morcellation, 119 has facilitated the performance of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) by reducing the time required for performance of the procedure compared with previous laparoscopic techniques. LSH was associated with a significantly reduced incidence of subsequent surgery and an increased level of patient satisfaction compared with REA in women with HMB in a well-designed RCT from Italy.…”
