title: A different technique for the closure of trocar sites.
abstract: This study aims to present a different technique for the closure of trocar sites in laparoscopic surgeries.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective records of cases who received the new closure technique were collected. Multifilament synthetic absorbable suture was used in this technique, with no additional tools.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This technique was applied in a total of ten cases, which included myomectomy, hysterectomy, sacrocolpopexy, and ectopic pregnancy. No intraoperative and postoperative complications were seen in any of the cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This new and relatively easy-to-use technique can be used as an alternative technique for the closure of trocar sites in laparoscopy.
