ABSTRACT:
In a method for removing a myoma, a distal end portion of a tubular member is inserted through laparoscopic trocar sleeve disposed in the patient's abdomen. The distal end portion of the tubular member is inserted into the myoma tissues to form a core thereof inside the tubular member. The myoma core is fragmented via an energizable laparoscopic instrument and the fragments are aspirated from the tubular coring member. The tubular member may be provided along a distal edge with a cauterizing element for facilitating the insertion of the distal end portion of the tubular member into the myoma.
