System for myomectomy and morcellation

A surgical system comprising:

• a screw retractor, including:
• an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a tool assembly disposed at a distal end of the elongated body, the tool assembly including:
• a screw;
• an articulating joint including a proximal portion engaged with the distal portion of the elongated body and a distal portion engaged with the screw, the articulating joint articulable to move the tool assembly between a linear condition in which the screw is coaxially aligned on the longitudinal axis and an articulated condition in which the screw defines an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the screw of the screw retractor is operatively associated with a screw synchronizer configured to control the rotation of the rotating shaft;
• and
• a rotating shaft extending proximally from the screw through the elongated body, the rotating shaft coupled to the screw and configured to articulate,
• wherein articulation of the rotating shaft is coextensive with articulation of the articulating joint;
• and
• a morcellator including:
• an elongated tube having a sleeve at a distal end portion of the elongated tube and defining a second longitudinal axis;
• and
• a cutting tube disposed within the sleeve, the cutting tube activatable to rotate about the second longitudinal axis, a distal end portion of the cutting tube positioned adjacent a distal end portion of the sleeve,
• wherein the morcellator includes a morcellator synchronizer operatively associated with the cutting tube, the screw synchronizer in communication with the morcellator synchronizer to rotate the screw in cooperation with the rotation of the cutting tube.
