A Surgical Technique for Closure of 10 mm and Larger Laparoscopic Port Fascial Defects Using a Graham's Nerve Hook.

The new port site closure technique introduced in this paper is found to be easy to learn, fast, and very cost effective due to the reusable, commonly found S-retractors and Graham's nerve hook. After four years of consistent use, this new technique was found to be safe and effective in closure of 10 mm or larger port sites.
