Dear Drs. Falcone and Flyckt,

Thank you for this thoughtful reflection on Venturella et al.’s RCT in this month’s F&S comparing the total and morcellation-specific operative times of in-bag manual tissue extraction to uncontained power morcellation of fibroids.

Has your group had any experience with the PneumoLiner, the recently FDA-approved containment system for power morcellation?

Thanks for your input.
