Claim 0:
1. A laparoscopic device comprising:
a housing operatively coupled to a control comprising,
a first toothed assembly selectively engaging a repositionable button, the first toothed assembly repositionable with respect to the housing and coupled to a first set of connection wires extending beyond the hand-held housing,
a handle mechanism repositionably coupled to the housing, the handle mechanism coupled to a draw wire extending beyond the hand-held housing, and
a first spring biasing engagement between the first toothed assembly and the repositionable button so as to preclude rotation of the first toothed assembly with respect to the repositionable button, wherein repositioning the repositionable button to overcome the biasing allows rotation of the first toothed assembly with respect to the repositionable button;

an end effector operatively coupled to the control by way of the first set of connection wires, the end effector comprising a first component and a second component selectively repositionable with respect to one another within an X-Y plane, the end effector also including a third component selectively repositionable with respect to the second component within a Y-Z plane;
a laparoscopic conduit extending between the housing and the end effector; and,
an occlusion clip operatively coupled to the end effector and the draw wire.
