Minimally Invasive Midline Surgery 'M-I-M-S' Using A Novel Suturing Technique for Sacrocervicopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a minimally invasive midline surgery technique using a novel suturing method for sacroscervical pexing. The procedure involves infiltrating the umbilicus with marcaine solution and creating a stab incision. The Alexis wound retractor is used to access the abdomen, followed by the placement of the gel point single port system. The MIMS method for laparoscopic suturing is introduced, utilizing the 2.8mm Burci fascial closure device for needle loading, mesh stabilization, and accurate suture placement. This technique eliminates the need for additional muscle splitting trocars and allows for easier intracorporeal knot tying. Minimally invasive midline surgery may offer less post-operative pain and improved cosmetic outcomes. No specific credits were mentioned in the transcript.
