Abstract:
We review a laparoscopic, intracorporeal technique of securing the square knot. It is useful when a surgeon's knot is insufficient to maintain tissue approximation. Advantages include the use of standard tying methods, lack of extracorporeal knot creation or need for a pushing device, and ability to secure the knot in difficult locations.
