Abstract

Laparoscopic implantation of a catheter through rectus sheath tunnel minimizes the risks of catheter failure and reduces some complications like catheter migration, hernias, and leaks. We described a novel method for laparoscopic catheter rectus sheath tunneling using an aspiration tube and a silk tie (Lin's tube). This material is easilyavailable and yields a small fascial defect with an equivalent cannula size to minimize tissue disruption. The technique is feasible, reproducible and it may reduce the risks of postoperative leakage and hemorrhage.
