  • Title: [Laparoscopic suture and knot techniques].
    Author: Pier A, Thevissen P, Eikel M, Götz F.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1994 May; 65(5):473-83. PubMed ID: 8050302.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic suture and knot techniques are not yet considered standard laparoscopic procedures. In conventional surgery, it would be unthinkable that a procedure would be attempted without a good working knowledge of suture and knot techniques. In laparoscopic operations, limited mobility, the lever arm through the instruments and especially the conversion of 2D vision to 3D actions and the lack of a direct tactile sense all have limiting effect. The needle holders available leave room for improvement. The initially protracted operating times become shorter with training and a period of adjustment.
