I prefer the Ligasure. I like the hand activation, rather than another foot peddle. I have used the PK and generally it worked well, except it would sometimes stick if the pedicle charred.

Surveying the cyber-gyns:

Which, in your experience, is the safest instrument to take the infundibulo-pelvic ligament in laparoscopic hysterectomy? By safest, I mean the instrument which most consistently takes this pedicle without having to go back to deal with bleeding. In my experience it has been the seitzenger-type coagulator/cutter - Gyrus also manufactures one.

Agree? disagree? Prefer the harmonic scalpel? Staples? Other?

Thanks in advance.
