Morcellators are considered to reduce operative time and decrease the risk of incision site hernia formation [6]. In humans, morcellation is most commonly performed during laparoscopic hysterectomies, myomectomies, and splenectomies [3, 4, 6]. In veterinary medicine, morcellators are most commonly reported for the removal of reproductive tumors in equine patients [22, 23]. Recently, laparoscopic falciform fat morcellation in dogs was found to be a safe and effective approach to the harvest and isolation of adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells [24]. Risks associated with the use of power morcellation include iatrogenic tissue damage, seeding of cancerous or infected tissues, and decreased ability to perform histopathologic cancer staging [6, 21, 25].
