[Full-thickness abdominal wall closure of laparoscopic trocar incision sites: a new, simplified technique].
Description of a safe, quick, easy and cheap technique of suture closure of laparoscopic trocar sites utilizing a reusable instrument ("hook-needle") developed for the purpose. The procedure is done under laparoscopic vision without the need for laparoscopic suture handling and results in a one stage closure of all relevant layers of the abdominal wall. Other techniques recently published for the same purpose are critically reviewed.
