Improved design knot pusher for laparoscopic extracorporeal suturing
Abstract
Background: Reliable instruments are essential for a hassle free laparoscopic operation. We describe a new knot pusher for improved extracorporeal suturing.
Methods: A new knot pusher was designed and tested in laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
Results: The instrument was used satisfactorily in 13 laparoscopic Nissen fundoplications. There were no complications and the instrument was found, overall, to be superior to the commercially available knot pushers.
Conclusion: The new knot pusher offers a tailored instrument for extracorporeal knot tying.
