A surgical device and tool for use in stabilizing tissue, such as an organ relative to a clamp, the surgical device having an elongate rigid member with a proximal end of the device having a stabilizing structure that rests against the skin of the subject and includes a vessel guide for guiding a blood vessel attached to the organ or tissue, and a distal end that mounts on the clamp. The surgical tool includes the combination of a clamp and the above-mentioned surgical device, with the clamp hingedly mounted on the distal end of the device. The tool is used to stabilize an organ by placement of the stabilizing structure against the skin of the subject, guiding a blood vessel with the vessel hook, and clamping such vessel distal to the vessel guide. A ligature is then placed across the vessel between the vessel guide and the clamp.
