Fascial closure of laparoscopic port sites: a new technique

Urology. 1995 Jun;45(6):1046-8. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(99)80129-0.

Abstract

The laparoscopic operative procedure is not complete until the port sites are closed with a fascial suture. Herein, we report a simple new technique that uses a venous catheter for suture placement and direct laparoscopic visualization to secure the abdominal wall fascia and peritoneum.
