This was an issue with uterine morcellation; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morcellator. Per the article, though:

> Some researchers have raised concerns about histotripsy potentially seeding new cancer growths as tumours are broken up inside the body, meaning they can be transported to other areas. That fear, however, hasn't borne out in animal studies so far.
