A limited number of access ports used in laparoscopic surgery may impair the ability of the surgeon to achieve adequate retraction and exposure, or to stabilize "moving targets" while operating on nonfixed organs. Solutions such as adding more ports or using a hand-assisted technique have the disadvantages of being more invasive, possibly creating a cumbersome situation of multiple instruments in a limited working space. We describe a useful technique for retraction and stabilization with the use of temporary sutures that pass through the abdominal wall. Although not new, this technique is not widely known or used, and laparoscopic surgeons may find it useful for a variety of applications.
