If a gynecologist determines that the uterus needs to be partially or completely removed, a hysterectomy procedure is required. Due to the sensitive location of the uterus, various techniques and instruments are used during this surgery.

The instruments used in a hysterectomy vary depending on the type of procedure (abdominal or vaginal) and the surgeon’s technique. In general, these tools include various forceps, clamps, scissors, and specialized instruments for separating, holding, and cutting tissues. Below are some of the common instruments used in hysterectomy procedures.
