Abstract

Morcellation is a mechanism to reduce the size of large tissue specimens with the intent to remove them via small openings in the body and has been used in gynecologic surgery for over 90 years. While traditionally performed manually via scalpel or scissors, surgeons have more recently employed electromechanical morcellation devices in conjunction with laparoscopic surgery. The first electromechanical morcellation device was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995; over the succeeding two decades numerous such devices have been developed and marketed.
