We conducted a 6-year prospective surgical case series study at a tertiary care centre in South India to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel Paily Vaginal Oophorectomy Clamp and its unique application technique during non-descent vaginal hysterectomy requiring salpingo-oophorectomy. The Paily Vaginal Oophorectomy Clamp's reversed blade design allows direct and secure grasping of the infundibulopelvic ligament as there is no intervening tissue near the joint, reducing the risk of slippage. In contrast, while using conventional clamps such as Heaney's, infundibulopelvic slippage occurs due to the presence of tissue between blades near the joint. A demonstration video is provided (Video).
