Method: Various knot tying techniques (laparoscopic knots, surgical knots, knitting knots, fishing knots, and sailor’s knots) were reviewed Conclusion: Radfar’s laparoscopic knot tying technique is introduced taking into consideration: • Improve ergonomics • Accurate Knot reproducible • Knot security • Decrease trauma to patient and surgeon • decrease foreign-body reaction
