Table 4

Technical feasibility of in-bag morcellation.

Successful and bag intact46 (93.9%)

Bag defect3 (6.1%)

Findings in cases of defect bag(i) 3 mm tear at tubular part due to shearing by the umbilical trocar (too small fascia incision)
(ii) Bag ruptured during forced extraction (calcified myoma 50 mm remaining in the bag)
(iii) Bag ruptured during forced extraction (residual piece of myoma 30 mm ignored)
