Systems for tissue removal

Systems and methods are provided for preventing the seeding of cancer cells during the fragmentation of a tissue sample within the body of a patient and the removal of the tissue sample from inside the patient through a minimally invasive body opening to the outside. of the patient. One system includes a cut-resistant fabric protector that can be removably inserted into a containment bag. The tissue sample is isolated and contained within the containment bag and the guard is configured to protect the containment bag and surrounding tissue from incidental contact with sharp instruments used during morcellation and removal of the tissue sample. The guard is adjustable for easy insertion and removal and is configured to securely anchor to the body opening. Protection-focused, containment-based systems for tissue removal are provided that allow minimally invasive procedures to be performed safely and efficiently.
