Grasping sutures during laparoscopic surgery is useful in closing trocar sites, repairing ventral hernias, and securing abdominal wall bleeding. This can be a cumbersome task through small incisions. An 18 gauge spinal needle and the suture of choice for accomplishing the job at hand can be used with a laparoscopic-assisted technique that is simple, inexpensive, and easy to learn. Surgeons performing laparoscopy should add this technique to their repertoire.
