The aim of this study protocol will be to compare the technique of intracorporeal morcellation using reusable electronic device (standard technique) with a technique of removal "protected" by endobag and extracorporeal myoma morcellation with cold scissors and scalpel blade or with power morcellator used inside the bag itself.

Operative time
calculated from the time, after secured hemostasis of the uterine breach, in which the myoma is clamped and subjected to intracorporeal or added in endobag for extracorporeal morcellation to the moment when the 'last fragment of myoma will be considered removed from the surgical field
Time frame: The day of surgery
Total operative time
from skin incision to skin closure
Time frame: The day of surgery
Handling of morcellation
expressed on the VAS scale where 1 means very bad handling and 10 excellent handling
Time frame: The day of surgery
Blood loss
Blood loss will be calculated by the difference of Hb level 2 hours after surgery and the morning of the surgery
Time frame: 2 hours after the end of surgery
Postoperative hospital stay
Time frame: The day of patient discharge, average 4 day after surgery
Postoperative pain
measured on the VAS scale where 1 stands for a little pain and 10 for intense pain
Time frame: The day of patient discharge, average 4 day after surgery
Rate of complications
need of transfusion or laparotomic conversion
Time frame: The day of patient discharge, average 4 day after surgery
