Background: Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery is useful in difficult laparoscopic operations. Expensive and cumbersome devices are necessary to ensure airtightness between the surgeon's hand and the abdominal wall so that pneumoperitoneum can be maintained.
Method: A simple method of maintaining pneumo-peritoneum in hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery was carried out by tying a strong nylon suture in a criss-cross fashion on one end of the incision.
