Single-port access subtotal hysterectomy with transcervical morcellation: a pilot study.

We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and operative outcome of management of myomas and adenomyosis using single-port access subtotal hysterectomy with transcervical morcellation using a wound retractor and a surgical glove. We conclude the single-port access subtotal hysterectomy is safe and effective and results in almost no visible scar. With more experience and advanced instruments, this surgical procedure can offer a safe and effective option to hysterectomy with an excellent cosmetic outcome. Copyright (c) 2010 AAGL.
