Haven't "lost" a specimen from the vaginal retirieval, but if it were to migrate, have felt comfortable a repeat look with the scope would get it back into play. I'm sure we'll have a bunch of interesting approaches come up on the list...as Joanne has said, the list is a great place for info exchange.

I've been using the endobag lately but it's always a chore to get it out the incision. End up doing a combination of chopping the ovary up in the bag and teasing it through the incision. Anyone have any easier methods? **************************************************************************** Charlie Chambers Hood River, OR cchamber@alumni.rice.edu "Almost anything you do will seem insignificant but it is very important that you do it....You must be the change you wish to see in the world" -- Mahatma Ghandi. ******************************************************************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
