Intraoperative data and results of peritoneal cytology and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

	Group A ()	Group B ()
Surgery
Surgical procedure
LSCH ( (%))	15 (62.5)	12 (50.0)	.38
Myomectomy ( (%))	9 (37.5)	12 (50.0)
Overall operative time (min)			.51
Morcellation time (min)			.52
Technical difficulties to place the bag ( (%))	1 (4.17)
Bag placement time (min)
Bag placement evaluation (VAS)
Duration of peritoneal washing (min)			.31
Weight of morcellated tissue (g)			.07
Peritoneal cytology and IHC
Presence of smooth muscle cells ( (%))	0 (0.00)	7 (29.2)	.009

LSCH: laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy; VAS: a 10 cm-visual analogue scale ranging from “difficult” (0) to “easy” (10). The weak pneumoperitoneum was related to inadequate curarization.
