Contained Transvaginal Specimen Removal: A Simple Technique Using Materials Readily Available in the MIGS Operating Room

Abstract

Study Objective This video demonstrates a simple technique for contained transvaginal removal of cystic ovarian specimens in laparoscopic surgical procedures. This obviates the need for enlargement of one of the abdominal trocar incisions. Design Videos from two laparoscopic adnexectomy surgeries, as well as instructive illustrations, are presented. Setting MIGS Operating Room. Patients or Participants two patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for removal of cystic ovaries. Interventions Laparoscopic removal of cystic adnexal masses. Measurements and Main Results Demonstration of successful contained transvaginal specimen removal. Conclusion Transvaginal contained specimen removal is a simple and viable technique for removal of cystic adnexal specimens in laparoscopic surgical procedures, which does not require enlargement of one of the abdominal trocar incisions.
