Thanks, Dr. Shriraam. It's great honor for me to have such a comment. As you mentioned, ipsilateral suturing is more common clinically. I'll make an effort to make new video. Thank you.

Funny vid far from reality! Watch distance and angle between instruments. Instruments are held in hands like sticks. In actual lap surgeries ports are not that widely placed. When instrument passes through port , hinge movement is there ,not free stick like. Handling a wet suture which sticks to tissue is much difficult than dry suture of the vid forming nice loop.

Thanks for ur comment. That's right, it's a bit far from wet suturing. But the main purpose of dry practice is to acquire hand-eye coordination and get used to handling a needle and suturing. So I believe this kind of training can improve suturing skills in real surgery. Recently I got a new dry box with which I can adjust the port placement, so that kind of box might be better for the training assuming the real operation. Especially, lap suturing with ipsilateral port style is more difficult, and the philosophy of suturing is a bit different from the way Introduced in this video.

Wat kind of suturing pad is that? We in india get such hard ones..cant practise on that

[@ken5japan]

Thanks for your comment. This is the Japanese products. I'm not sure you can import this pad, but I can recommend another one which can be shipped. This is the Japanese website, but you can send a message in English. www.jptc.co.jp/ If you need any help, please tell me. I'll put my e-mail address temporarily.

Hi,Kengo. I'm from Russia. Thanks for the video. So, Helpful for me. By the way,can you please suggest me, how can i participate the laparoscopic sutures contest in Japan 2020. I'm really interested or any link of the organization who r arranged this kind of contest. Thank you.

[@ken5japan]

Thanks for your kind comment. Actually, I'm afraid that we don't have such a big international contest in Japan. But in 2020, World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery is going to be held in conjunction with the 33rd annual meeting of Japan society for endoscopic surgery in Japan next September. Suturing contest and laparoscopic Olympics(ELSA games) will be held during the congress I think. I hope to see you there!

[@ken5japan]

I bought it on the Japanese website. But I'm afraid they don't export their product.. I put the website below. www.tech-kg-shop.com/

Goodness sir..u suture in lap..like we do in open..so fast and accurate

[@sohamdasgupta492]

You're holding the needle with the convexity of the needle driver. Also your knots are not surgical knots. Please show us a surgical knot. Like 2-1-1 throw. Also You're drawing the needle with the Grasper and not the needle driver after taking the bite. It is not recommended. Love from India
