Laparoscopic Port Closure or Fascial Closure Needles

This video demonstrates Laparoscopic Port Closure Needles explained by Dr. R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Fascial closure of port sites represents a challenging issue in laparoscopic surgery. We have reported a novel technique for the closure of the ports after laparoscopic surgery. Using this technique all the ports are closed under vision, thus preventing port herniation. New technical challenges have emerged since the introduction of the laparoscopic approach in surgery. One of these is fascial closure at port sites, which is necessary especially when large trocars are used or after dilation of a port site for organ extraction. New developments, such as single-port laparoscopic surgery, and the need for small esthetic incisions render fascial closure a current issue.
