Survey among ESGE members on leiomyosarcoma morcellation incidence

Table 2 The frequency and probability of sarcoma in general and according to type of surgery as calculated by the number and types of operations performed in lifetime and the total number of sarcomas diagnosed in a lifetime by each surgeon

Type of surgery	Number of doctors	Total number surgeries by all doctors in their lifetime	Total number of sarcomas identified in their lifetime	Probability of sarcoma per 1000
All types of surgeries	218	429.777	221 ≈ 216^a	1.5
Laparoscopic myomectomies	236	103.576	57	0.6
Laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomies	236	106.022	38	1.3
Laparoscopic hysterectomies	235	134.808	72	3.1
Hysteroscopic myomectomies	234	87.842	54	0.7

^aThe sum of the general question of the total number of uterine sarcomas calculated and seen in lifetime (Table 1: sum Q2 = 216). The sum of the diagnosed sarcomas after each individual type of surgery in lifetime as shown in Table 1: sum (Q5 + Q7 + Q9 + Q11) = 221)
