Abstract
In November 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a black box warning against the use of power morcellation for excision of uterine fibroids to decrease the risk of disseminating malignant cells and worsening survival outcomes of patients with unexpected malignant neoplasms. After the FDA statement was issued, studies showed decreased rates of minimally invasive surgery and increased rates of open abdominal hysterectomy. However, there are limited and controversial data on the association of these changed rates with 30-day hysterectomy complicationsFile | Size | Format | |
