- 13. 7 – Method of Artery clamping • Laparoscopic Satinsky clamp – – Faster en-block clamping. – Requires an additional 10-12mm port. – Risk of inadvertent slippage. – Not useful in retroperitoneal approach – less space. • Bulldog clamp – – application requires meticulous artery dissection – Technical difficulty in manipulation – may increase WIT.
