Abstract:
A new laparoscopic instrument is available to remove hair from an ovarian dermoid cyst. It is constructed of Teflon, and is 35 cm in length and 9 mm in diameter. The distal 6 cm of the instrument tapers form 9 to 6 mm, and has longitudinal and transverse grooves. When the tapered part is rotated in the mat of hair, the hair attaches firmly to it and can be brought out easily.
