Speculum of the Liver

The hepatic speculum is a surgical instrument that is used to retract and hold the liver during abdominal surgery. It has a groove-shaped working part, which is at an angle of 120 degrees to the handle.

The hepatic speculum is a surgical instrument with a long handle on which the working part is attached. The working part has the shape of a trench and can be made of various materials, such as metal or plastic.

During surgery, a liver speculum is used to retract and hold the liver, which allows the surgeon to gain access to the internal organs and perform the necessary manipulations.

The use of a liver speculum is one of the key stages of abdominal surgery, as it allows you to create the necessary space for surgical manipulations and avoid possible damage to internal organs.

Thus, the hepatic speculum is an important tool in surgery, which allows abdominal operations to be performed safely and effectively.

**Hepatic speculum is a surgical mirror with a grooved working part (**horny arch)**, located at an oblique angle of 90° to the legs, having the shape of an elongated quadrangle with rounded corners and two perpendicular short additional processes (holders). The legs are usually reinforced with a restrictive thread. In ancient times, a stone-like mirror was used.**

**An electric vibrator can be attached to the upper edge of the base of the hepatic mirror.** In the past, it was used to crush stones in cholelithiasis,
