[Description of a new modified clamp for the parametrium in abdominal hysterectomies (author's transl)]

A new modified clamp for the parametrium is presented which facilitates abdominal hysterectomy in large myomatous uteri. The curbed clamp has a blunt angle of 160 degrees to its handle and permits clamping of the parametrium parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cervix. The clamp appears to be an enrichment of the available instruments for abdominal hysterectomies.
