Abstract

This invention is a method for morselating and removing the morselated tissue (14) through a small incision (10) comprising in general inserting a tissue container (12) into the body cavity of a patient through an incision (10), placing resected tissue (14) in the vessel (12), inserting a morselator (16) having a rotatable electrode thereon through the incision (10) and into the vessel (12), morcelating the tissue and removing the tissue from the containment vessel (12) and the body. An apparatus (16) for morselating and removing tissue through a small incision (10) within the body cavity of a patient is also disclosed and may comprise a tissue container (12) having an inner chamber for containing resected tissue (14), and a morselator (16) having a proximal end (21) and a distal end (17) carrying an electrode (36) wherein the distal end (17) is insertable into the body cavity and containment vessel (12) for morselating resected tissue (14).
