Apparently the warnings have been around for some time, but this is the first I've heard of them. When I had a hysterectomy 6 yrs ago, the procedure was laparoscopic & robotic. If this particular technique--power morcellation--was used, I didn't know it. But it sounds like it was possble. And now I learn it can cause cancer. Yell
