Laparoscopic loop ligatures for bladder repair during laparoscopic surgery

Int J Gynaecol Obstet. 1999 Jul;66(1):47-9. doi: 10.1016/s0020-7292(98)00256-2.

Abstract

In this paper, we report a case where a bladder perforation occurred during a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and was repaired by laparoscopic loop ligatures. This is the first case report of using the laparoscopic loop ligatures to close the bladder perforations. The loop ligature is an easy and quick procedure, which can be performed by most surgeons who take the time to learn the endoscopic suturing techniques.
