The Filshie clip for laparoscopic adnexal surgery.

The Filshie clip for laparoscopic adnexal surgery. JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons Garcia, F. A., Barker, B., Myloyde, T., Blumenthal, P., Huggins, G. R. 2001; 5 (2): 179-181

Abstract

Gynecologic endoscopic procedures are increasingly common and require the ability to control large vascular structures.The Filshie clip is a silicone-lined, titanium occlusive device, originally designed and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for surgical contraception. This device also has the potential for occluding vascular structures during laparoscopic surgery.We describe a salpingectomy, an excision of bilateral hydrosalpinges, and a salpingo-oopherectomy. We performed all procedures laparoscopically using this device as the primary modality for assuring hemostasis.The Filshie clip is a useful and economical device for assuring hemostasis during gynecologic endoscopic surgery.
