An apparatus has an elongate element with a proximal end and a distal end. A connection element is disposed at the proximal end of the elongate element. A morcellator is disposed proximate the distal end. The morcellator has a shank with a base and a leading surface. The base is operably connected to the distal end of the elongate element. The shank at least partially defines a flute disposed substantially helically about an outer surface of the shaft. At least one cutting edge is disposed on the leading surface and proximate the at least one flute.
