Abstract | Accurate placing of securely tied knots in laparoscopic surgery is technically demanding and time consuming. Surgeons must face difficulties arising from 2-dimensional vision, spatial limitations, and restricted movement. Issues to be taken into account include security, virtuosity, and cost effectiveness. The authors believe that in spite of advances in instrumentation and optics, training should aim at manual skill development and application of the basic principles of general surgery. |
