Watch Dr. Oz Talk About Fibroid Morcellation
On Wednesday this week Dr. Oz spoke to his audience about fibroid disease, and the current status of the morcellator. We’ve been discussing morcellation here for several months since the FDA published their warning on it’s use.
Dr. Oz had a GYN surgeon who performs fibroid surgery using the morcellator, a patient who had cancer in her uterus during her surgery with the morcellator, and a physician who is against the use of the morcellator. The discusses ranged from how to make the morcellator safer, to the tragic outcome of the patients cancer spreading after her surgery.
