Abstract:
In the field of minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery, in there exists several devices for the purposes of removing large tissues from the abdomen through the use of only small holes. All of these devices, to date, to the knowledge of the inventor have involved morcellation, or the breaking apart of these tissues into small pieces. The surgical device, through the use of a unique engulfing sheet or engulfing bag, has the capability of removing a tissue from the abdomen through small minimally invasive or laparoscopic incisions without the use of morcellation. The device relies upon mechanical energy to force a large object through a smaller hole without the necessity to break the object down into smaller pieces.

Claim (Index 3):
The invention of a NON-MORCELLATING MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL TISSUE REMOVAL SYSTEM, which consists minimally of a form of engulfing sheet or engulfing bag and can be used to remove a tissue mass from a body cavity using the process of engulfing the tissue mass with a largely impenetrable engulfing sheet or engulfing bag, and then reducing the size of the tissue mass by pulling it out through a smaller diameter rigid hole or ring, using either manual or electronic power, including the method and process for removing a tissue mass from inside the body of a patient, by engulfing the tissue mass with a largely impenetrable engulfing sheet or engulfing bag, and then reducing the size of the tissue mass by pulling it out through a smaller diameter rigid hole or ring, using either manual or electronic power, with or without the use of other devices.
