[Round ligament suspension in laparoscopic hepatic surgery: technical advantages].

: Transabdominal suspension sutures are generally described in different laparoscopic surgical techniques. During the different phases of the surgical procedure, this solution permits the surgeon to achieve better exposure of the "target organ" or adequate stabilisation of it without adding more ports and instruments. In a limited working space, the use of many instruments may interfere with the surgeon's movements. In the present paper, we present the use of suspension sutures of the round ligament in different hepatic surgical techniques performed laparoscopically in our department of surgery, analysing the technical advantages.
