Abstract
A modified version of a classic right angle clamp is described. The us e of the new surgical instrument is advocated during radical retropubi c prostatectomy and cystectomy for a safer and easier division of the puboprostatic ligaments and the dorsal vein complex as a single unit. The special shape of the clamp allows the surgeon to move freely and a ngle it beneath the pubis without hindrance from the bladder.
