Received 20 September 2009; accepted 3 February 2010.
Abstract
At laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy with a novel “paper roll” vaginal morcellation technique, large uteri (≥500 g) can be removed via the vagina with safety, speed, and ease. The technique provides protection for the bladder and rectum, and large uteri can be removed in 1 piece, allowing the pathologist to reconstruct the entire uterus.
