Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Traditional open surgery relies on hand/finger or instrument-based knot tying, forming mirror-image half-hitches to create square knots.
  • Current endoscopic surgery presents opportunities for novel square knot-tying methods using advanced instruments.
  • An overview of existing endoscopic knot-tying approaches is provided.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advance endoscopic knot-tying techniques through theoretical analysis and practical application.
  • To introduce second-generation, purpose-designed instruments for endoscopic knot tying.
  • To foster a new appreciation of knot-tying theory in surgical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of square knot-tying techniques, considering both instrument and hand/finger movements.

  • Application of a mirror-image concept to contrast different knot-tying methodologies.
  • Description of innovative knot-tying methods using second-generation endoscopic instruments.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified 12 distinct methods for creating a square knot, some previously undescribed or unnecessary in open surgery.
    • Several newly defined methods demonstrate particular utility in endoscopic surgery.
    • New ergonomic and efficient knot-tying techniques were developed.

    Conclusions:

    • A refined understanding of knot-tying theory has been achieved, leading to innovative methods for endoscopic tissue approximation.
    • The described techniques are ergonomic, efficient, and contrast with traditional approaches.
    • These advancements have broad applicability across various fields of minimally invasive surgery.
