Reported risk: Customers are being made aware that the US-FDA issued a safety communication on April 17, 2014, discouraging the use of laparoscopic uterine power morcellation in hysterectomy or myomectomy in women with uterine fibroids, because of the risk of spreading unsuspected cancerous tissue, notably uterine sarcomas, beyond the uterus. Health care providers and patients should carefully consider alternative treatment options for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
