Abstract:
Ieiri and colleagues report an ingenious technique for performing ambidextrous suturing in laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy for cases with small hepatic ducts. Surgeons who devote professional attention to minimally invasive surgery should take care to practice extensively with their non-dominant as well as dominant hand to improve the quality of laparoscopic surgery.
