Gall Clamps and Kidney Forceps: Precision and Gentle Handling in Visceral Surgery

Gall forceps and kidney forceps are specialized surgical instruments designed to securely clamp and fixate ligaments and parametria. They play a crucial role in visceral surgery, particularly in procedures involving the gallbladder and kidneys. Thanks to their longitudinal serrations on the jaws, they allow for gentle tissue grasping without causing trauma. These features make them indispensable tools for precise and delicate surgical interventions.

Design and Features

• Longitudinal Serrations: The coarse, lengthwise serrations on the jaws ensure a secure grip on tissue without damaging it. This is particularly important for sensitive structures such as the gallbladder or kidney tissue.

• Material: The clamps are made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and sterilizable, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliability.

• Ergonomics: The design of the clamps ensures comfortable handling, even during lengthy and complex procedures.

Areas of Application

• Gall Clamps: Used to securely fixate the gallbladder or bile ducts during surgical procedures. They are essential for cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) or biliary tract surgery.

• Kidney Clamps: Used to fixate kidney tissue or renal vessels during nephrectomy (removal of the kidney) or other urological procedures. They enable precise control and gentle handling.

Notable Examples: Guyon, Stille, Grey, and Lahey Clamps

Among the most well-known and proven models are the Guyon and Stille renal pedicle clamps and the Grey and Lahey bile duct clamps. Each of these clamps has specific features that make them particularly suitable for certain applications:

1. Guyon and Stille Renal Pedicle Clamp:

   • Description: A robust clamp with strong, longitudinal serrations specifically designed for fixating renal vessels.

   • Applications: Ideal for nephrectomy or renal pelvis surgery.

   • Advantages: Secure grip and gentle handling of delicate kidney tissue.

2. Grey and Lahey Bile Duct Clamp:

   • Description: A finely crafted clamp with precise, longitudinal serrations designed for manipulating bile ducts.

   • Applications: Frequently used in cholecystectomy or biliary tract reconstruction.

   • Advantages: Minimal tissue trauma and precise control.
