Laparoscopic power morcellation to remove uterine fibroids should only be performed with the use of a compatible containment system, and only on women younger than 50, the US FDA said in a newly published safety communication and draft guidance document. See what the president of the gynecologic trade group AAGL, Jubilee Brown, said about it here.

“This updated guidance document and the associated labeling allows physicians and their patients to make informed decisions based on the most current scientific information and provides expanded safe options for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery in appropriate, low-risk, screened patients after informed consent.” – Jubilee Brown, president, AAGL
