A CLINICAL CASE OF ABDOMINAL MORCELLOMAS

Abstract
Aim of the study is to present a clinical case of abdominal morcellomas.
Methods: The technique of morcellation involves not only incisions, but also a significant crushing of tumor cells, which can eventually lead to the spread of the disease. Fibroids left in the abdominal cavity during morcellation continue their development and can reach tumors of considerable size. An observation of the detected parasitic uterine fibroids several years after laparoscopic myomectomy is presented.
Result: Histological examination of the removed preparation shows a microscopic picture of the uterine leiomyoma node of a typical structure in a thin fibrous capsule. It was received a normal postoperative course and a patient was discharged from hospital on the 4th day.
Conclusion: Abdominal morcellomas after laparoscopic interventions on the uterus is a rare complication associated with the parasitic persistence of myomatous tissue on the abdominal organs. The risks of such complications of endosurgery indicate the need for strict compliance with all technical aspects of using a devices for the evacuation of removed tissues, careful intraoperative monitoring and sanitation of the abdominal cavity.
