Power morcellators are medical devices used to perform hysterectomies and remove fibroid tumors. Evidence now shows that the spinning blades of a power morcellator can spray hidden cancer cells around a patient’s abdomen and pelvis. If you or a family member was diagnosed with advanced uterine cancer after undergoing a hysterectomy or fibroid tumor surgery, you can count on The Brad Hendricks Law Firm to help you understand your legal options.
Injuries include uterine, endometrial, or ovarian sarcomas (cancer) including leiomyosarcoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, carcinosarcoma, and endometrial adenocarcinoma (cannot have had pre-existing metastatic cancer of any kind or any cancer spread throughout the uterus).
Women of any age who have had a myomectomy (removal of fibroids), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries), or salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) in which a power morcellator was used to extract tissue may have been put at risk for injury. Women who have experienced injury from laparoscopic surgery in which a power morcellator was used should also contact our attorneys if the surgery was performed prior to April 17, 2014 and after 1993.
