Highlights
- •Specimen retrieval is a challenging step of laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (LSH).
- •Unsuspected malignancy could be spread intrabdominally at the time of morcellation.
- •Morcellation inside a purpose-built bag (contained) preserves oncological safety.
- •Specimen extraction through the posterior vaginal fornix is a reliable procedure.
- •Transvaginal contained uterus morcellation and extraction is feasible and safe in LSH.
