Morcellator

Power Morcellators

Morcellator-Morcellation-Lawsuit-Side-EffectsMorcellators, electronic devices used to remove tissue during hysterectomies and other gynecological surgeries, have been tied to the spread of a rare, but aggressive, uterine cancer called leiomyosarcoma. Since 2013, a number of morcellator cancer lawsuits have been filed against Ethicon Inc., Blue Endo, Lina Medical, and other medical device manufacturers that market these instruments. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim that they were never warned that morcellation has the potential to “seed” undiagnosed leiomyosarcoma present in uterine fibroids, leading to the spread of the cancer.
