Ulster Med J. 2017 Sep;86(3):167-171. Epub 2017 Sep 12.

Abstract

The ERBE BiClamp® BVSS appears to be a safe and effective method of vaginal hysterectomy in this small single surgeon, single institution study; demonstrating efficient operative times, minimal blood loss and intraoperative morbidity with acceptable surgical outcomes. Its use contributes to the advancement of minimally invasive gynaecology and should be encouraged.
