Proposal for a novel and inexpensive surgical instrument to perform the tension-free vaginal tape procedure in women with genuine stress incontinence.

The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) technique is now commonly used in the management of female genuine stress incontinence. Short operation time, small amount of local anesthetic, fast postoperative mobilization, brief hospital stay, little residual urinary volume and little need for sick leave make TVT a simple and well-accepted minimal invasive surgery for the treatment of stress incontinence. We became suspicious of the procedure due to the very expensive cost of the instrumentation. Moreover we think that this "blind" procedure may be less dangerous by using a more familiar instrument than a large and gross steel needle. We propose the use of an unmodified procedure with a new, cheaper and easy-to-use steel clamp-like-instrument.

The thumb and index finger as principal surgical instruments to secure the inferior vena cava between the liver and the diaphragm in routine operations of the liver.

Presented herein is a simple and safe technique to secure the IVC in its segments above the liver and below the diaphragm through a simple incision in the abdomen. After complete division of the hepatic ligaments, the index finger is passed through the upper recessus of the lesser sac, behind the vein, and just above the caudate lobe, meeting the right thumb on the right side of the vein. A tissue string is then passed, and the IVC is secured. The experience of the authors with more than 100 consecutive hepatectomies has shown this technique to be a reliable approach to secure the IVC during routine hepatic operations.
