the laparoscopic surgeon, especially during the performance of advanced
laparoscopic procedures. Intracorporeal and extracorporeal knot tying
enhances the technical capabilities of the laparoscopic access, thus
extending the spectrum of laparoscopic procedures to that of open
surgery. We describe herein a new extracorporeal knot designed with an
emphasis on simplicity and safety. (c) 2006 Excerpta Medica Inc. All
