Summary

The Aim of the study is to determine endometrial/myometrial spillage during total laparoscopic hysterectomy with manual morcellation.

Conditions

  • Hysterectomy

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Peritoneal washings

Peritoneal washing will be done at designated point in the surgical procedure. one hundred cc of normal saline, will be used to irrigate the peritoneal cavity. Samples of the fluid will be collected, with the goal to collect as much fluid as possible for the study, with minimum of 60 cc should be collected. Samples will be sent to the pathology lab. 1. First washing will be collected after obtaining entry into the peritoneal cavity with placement of the first laparoscopic trocar, before any manipulation of the uterus. 2. Second washing will be done after the hysterectomy and containment of the uterus in the bag. 3. Third washing will be collected after scalpel morcellation of the uterus in the containment bag, extraction and closure of the vaginal cuff.
