A method for extracting a tubular structure from tissue using a device including a handle having an actuator, an elongate body with a first end coupled to and extending from the handle, and an operational head disposed at a second end of the elongate body. The operational head is longitudinally movable between a neutral position and an actuated position. The method includes inserting the elongate body into the tubular structure placing the operational head into the actuated position engaging the tubular structure with the operational head when in the actuated position and pulling the tubular structure from the tissue by moving the operational head.
