Under vision the skin overlying the attachment of the round ligament to the anterior abdominal wall was incised followed by introduction of 30 curved needle attached to absorpable Vicryl 2/0 suture through the incision and withdrawn through grasper under laparoscopi vision. The needle was turned around the round ligament all through its length to plicate it then the needle was pushed again beside its entry side to appear at the skin incision. The same was repeated on the other side and both sutures were tied at the subcutaneous tissue simultaneously. then the laparoscopy was withdrawn followed by closure of the skin incision.
