POWER MORCELLATION IN A PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A power morcellation system, apparatus, and methodology. Structurally, the device includes a sturdy, pliable (e.g., able to be inserted and retracted through a 10-15 mm morcellator port), distensible, waterproof/watertight retaining bag/pouch/carrier to be deployed into the pelvic cavity of the subject. The device further includes a plurality (e.g., three (3)) of port tube channels extending outwardly from the bag, wherein the interior of each channel is in communication with the interior of the bag. Each channel has an open end (opposite from the end that terminates in the bag) through which a laparoscopic/robotic camera and other instruments (e.g., camera, control instrument) may pass. A smaller tube channel also extends outwardly from the bag and can be suited as an insufflation port channel, among other uses. The bag also includes a large opening surrounded by an elastic drawstring for receiving the specimen to be removed within the bag.

主权项

1. A morcellation system, comprising:
a pliable retaining carrier or pouch with a specimen-receiving opening that leads from an exterior of said retaining carrier to a substantially hollow interior of said retaining carrier, said retaining carrier insertable into an operative internal cavity of a subject or patient, said retaining carrier structured to receive a targeted, excised specimen within said substantially hollow interior; and a plurality of elongate, flexible laparoscopic tool- or trocar-receiving channels extending externally from a lining of said retaining carrier at a spaced distance away from said specimen-receiving opening and at a spaced distance away from each other, said plurality of channels positioned on said lining of said retaining carrier such that said plurality of channels are configured to line up with laparoscopic ports on a body of said subject, said plurality of channels each having a proximal end and a distal end, said distal end of said each channel terminating at said lining of said retaining carrier within said operative internal cavity of said subject, said proximal end configured to be withdrawn external to said body of said subject when said morcellation system has been inserted into said patient or subject, said retaining carrier having a first position and a second position, said first position being a desufflated position within said operative internal cavity of said subject with said specimen-receiving opening being open, said second position being an insufflated position within said operative internal cavity of said subject with said specimen-receiving opening being closed or cinched, wherein said each channel is extended through a respective laparoscopic port on said body.
