ABSTRACT:
A method for use in laparoscopic surgery comprises the steps of disposing a laparoscopic trocar sleeve in an abdominal wall of a patient so that the sleeve traverses an opening in an abdominal skin surface of the patient and also traverses an underlying aperture in a peritoneum of the patient and providing a closure device having an elongate shaft and a distal end portion made of bioabsorbable material. The trocar sleeve is removed from the abdominal wall of the patient and at least part of the closure device is inserted through the skin surface opening so that the distal end portion of the closure device is partially disposed proximately to the aperture in the peritoneum. The skin surface opening is at least partially closed subsequently to the removal of the trocar sleeve and the insertion of the closure device. The closure device is maintained in a position at least partially traversing the abdominal wall of the patient so that the distal end portion of the closure device remains partially disposed proximately to the aperture so as to block entry of an abdominal organ into the aperture subsequently to the closure of the opening in the skin surface.
