Contained Morcellation of Very Large Uterus.

Abstract A 38-year-old woman was referred to our centre for symptomatic leiomyoma. The patient had a large uterus, heavy menstrual bleeding, and compressive symptoms refractory to medical treatments. The patient was then scheduled for total laparoscopic hysterectomy with contained morcellation. After circular colpotomy completion, a strong, folded, 4-L bag with an additional sleeve for the optics was inserted into the abdominal cavity through the vagina. The colored tabs on the edge of the bag mouth served as landmarks during bag deployment. After ensuring optimal positioning, the entire bag was fully deployed, and the specimen was placed inside. Thereafter, the coloured tabs were joined together, and a monofilament drawstring was cinched to close the bag and pulled out through the suprapubic trocar. Next, the small extra sleeve was brought up through the umbilical incision. The bag was then insufflated, and the power morcellator was inserted through the suprapubic incision. After completing the morcellation, the pneumo bag was evacuated, and knots were made in both openings of the bag to avoid spillage. The closed bag was finally removed through the vagina, with final laparoscopic closure of the vaginal vault.
