CIGC’s Advanced GYN Procedures Do Not Require Power Morcellation

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

At The Center for Innovative GYN Care we have chosen to NEVER use power morcellators in our minimally invasive GYN procedures. CIGC physicians focus on advanced surgical techniques like DualPortGYN and LAAM to provide a safer, less invasive approach to surgery, without the use of power morcellators. These innovative procedures have been successfully applied to thousands of cases for fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic masses, prolapse procedures and cancer.

Power morcellators break down, or “morcellate,” the uterus and fibroids into smaller pieces to allow removal through laparoscopic ports. As the uterus or a fibroid within the uterus may contain a cancer known as a sarcoma, if a sarcoma is present, this approach can potentially spread cancer cells in the pelvic cavity. In July 2015 the FDA held an important meeting to discuss the risks of using power morcellators in GYN surgery and currently discourages their use to remove uterine fibroids and uteri. The truth is, with advanced surgical techniques, power morcellators are not necessary.
