Abstract
During laparoscopy using only 5 mm trocars, it may sometimes be necessary to perform a suture, which usually requires the use of a 10 mm or 12 mm trocar with a reducer. Thus, the 5-mm trocar has to be replaced by a larger diameter device. In order to avoid the trocar change in these situations, a trick that is easily realizable for performing one or more stitches is described. This technique can be used in various surgical specialties, whether it is gynecological, digestive or urological surgery.
