Table 6 Statements on the complication of morcellation ‘seeding’ (upstaging uterine sarcoma)

The quality of research regarding upstaging of uterine sarcoma by open morcellation is rather poor

D

Electromechanical power morcellation of an unsuspected uterine sarcoma may cause intraperitoneal dissemination (‘seeding’)

C

Intraperitoneal dissemination (‘seeding’) may be associated with lower survival rates

C

‘En bloc’ resection of a uterine sarcoma may be associated with better survival than other tissue retrieval methods going with tumour injury

D
