Abstract
A surgical dissector has parallel arms mounted by a scissors linkage for moving toward and away from one another while remaining parallel. A plurality of teeth extend transversely from the arms and are positioned so that they may be interdigitated when the dissector is in a closed position. The teeth have rounded distal ends and are sufficient spaced so that spaces remain between the interdigitated teeth. The dissector is particularly useful in partial kidney resectioning.
