I use the endobag and if necessary, use kocher clamps or ring forceps to twist the ovary through the Incisional opening.

Just wanted to poll the list to what strategies others use to remove ovaries from the abdomen after laparoscopic detachment. 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?
