Abstract

Endoscopic knot tying during minimally invasive surgery can be complicated, time consuming, and associated with a protracted learning curve. The Minailo knot seems to be a reasonable option because the technique does not require any specialized instrumentation or skill to perform. In particular, vaginal closure is obtained with the placement of a single intra-corporeal knot. Our initial and successful experience with this knot-tying technique during robotic hysterectomy for treatment of gynecologic disease suggests that the method is safe and feasible.
