Abstract
Intracorporeal knot tying in laparoscopic surgery is time-consuming and difficult to learn. We present a new technique, that we call the pre-looped intracorporeal knot technique, which obviates the difficulties and saves time. We devised a homemade suture ring that allows the introduction of the suture thread wrapped on the needle driver and ready for knot tying simply by pulling on both extremities of the thread. Our experience with this technique proved it to be easy to apply and to learn. The prelooped intracorporeal knot technique allies the sophistication of intracorporeal knot tying to the easiness and simplicity of the extracorporeal classic suturing. It renders intracorporeal knotting an easy and rapid task to achieve.
