Abstract	The ventouse, long celebrated for its role in obstetrics is now emerging as a competent assisting tool in complex gynaecological surgeries. Its controlled suction and traction mechanics redefines surgical finesse and safety. A prospective pilot observational study was conducted at our tertiary care centre of North East India at 40 patients for a duration of 6 months. Ventouse-assisted traction was used in gynaecological procedures including myomectomy, hysterectomy, large cystic adnexal masses/tumours and deep-seated pelvic masses. Key parameters observed were intraoperative blood loss, tissue handling quality ,associated visceral and vascular injuries and surgeon’s ease. This study demonstrates that ventouse is a safe, innovative and underutilised adjunct in gynaecological surgery representing a paradigm shift towards less traumatic precision. Its careful application can extend the horizons of obstetrics practice from delivery assistance to operative innovation.
