Demonstration of Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot
Laparoscopic suturing and knotting are important for surgeons and gynecologists. Mishra's Knot is one of the important extracorporeal knots for any tubular structure. Configuration of Mishra's Knot is 1:1:1:1:1:1:1. This knot is secured up to 18mm of the tubular structure.
Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot is a surgical technique used to tie knots during laparoscopic surgery. It is commonly used in procedures like laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) and laparoscopic appendectomy (appendix removal).
The procedure involves passing a suture through the tissue and then tying a knot around it using a specialized knot-tying instrument called a Mishra's Knot Pusher. The Mishra's Knot Pusher allows the surgeon to tie secure knots quickly and easily without needing to manipulate the suture manually.

To perform a Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope (a small camera) and other surgical instruments into the abdomen through small incisions. They then pass a suture through the tissue that needs to be tied off and grasp the suture with the Mishra's Knot Pusher. The surgeon then uses the instrument to tie the knot securely, ensuring that the tissue is held in place.
Overall, Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot is a useful technique for laparoscopic surgery as it allows surgeons to tie knots quickly and easily with a high degree of accuracy and precision.
The Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot has several advantages over traditional knot-tying techniques used in laparoscopic surgery. Here are some of its key benefits:
Speed: Mishra's Knot is a quick and efficient way to tie knots during laparoscopic surgery. The Mishra's Knot Pusher allows surgeons to tie knots faster than they would be able to manually.
Precision: The Mishra's Knot Pusher allows for precise knot-tying, ensuring that the suture is tightly secured around the tissue. This reduces the risk of the suture slipping or becoming loose.
Consistency: With traditional knot-tying techniques, there can be significant variation in the tightness and placement of knots. Mishra's Knot Pusher helps to standardize the knot-tying process, resulting in more consistent and reliable outcomes.
Reduced tissue trauma: Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to reduce tissue trauma compared to traditional open surgery. Mishra's Knot allows for knot-tying with minimal manipulation of the tissue, further reducing tissue trauma.
Improved ergonomics: The use of Mishra's Knot Pusher reduces the need for surgeons to use their hands to manipulate the suture during knot-tying. This can reduce hand fatigue and improve the ergonomics of the surgical procedure.
Reduced risk of infection: With Mishra's Knot, there is no need for the surgeon to handle the suture with their hands, which can reduce the risk of infection. This is especially important in laparoscopic surgery, where the risk of infection can be higher due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
Versatility: Mishra's Knot is a versatile knot-tying technique that can be used for a wide range of laparoscopic procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy, and laparoscopic hernia repair.
Improved outcomes: The use of Mishra's Knot can lead to improved surgical outcomes, such as reduced operative time, reduced blood loss, and fewer complications.
Cost-effective: Mishra's Knot Pusher is a cost-effective instrument that can be easily incorporated into laparoscopic surgery, making it accessible to surgeons in a wide range of settings.
Reduced postoperative pain: The use of Mishra's Knot can result in reduced postoperative pain due to the secure knot-tying, which can minimize tissue irritation and inflammation.
Like any surgical procedure, Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot may have potential complications. Some of the possible complications associated with Mishra's Knot include:
Knot slippage: If the knot is not tied securely, it may slip, causing the tissue to become untied. This can lead to bleeding, infection, or other complications.
Knot entanglement: The suture may become entangled, making it difficult to tie the knot correctly. This can lead to increased operative time and potential complications.
Tissue damage: Mishra's Knot Pusher may cause damage to surrounding tissue if not used correctly. This can result in bleeding or other complications.
Nerve damage: During the knot-tying process, there is a risk of damaging nearby nerves, which can lead to chronic pain or other complications.
Infection: Although the use of Mishra's Knot can reduce the risk of infection, there is still a potential risk of infection associated with any surgical procedure.
Allergic reaction: Some patients may have an allergic reaction to the suture material used in Mishra's Knot, which can lead to inflammation or other complications.
Equipment malfunction: Mishra's Knot Pusher is a mechanical instrument, and like any mechanical instrument, it may malfunction during use. This can lead to potential complications, such as knot slippage or entanglement.
Conversion to open surgery: In some cases, laparoscopic surgery may need to be converted to open surgery due to complications during the procedure, such as difficulty with knot-tying. This can result in a longer recovery time and increased risk of complications.
Bleeding: Mishra's Knot Pusher may cause bleeding if the tissue is not properly secured or if a blood vessel is accidentally punctured during the knot-tying process.
Suture breakage: Mishra's Knot relies on the suture material to hold the tissue together. If the suture material is not strong enough or if it becomes weakened during the procedure, it may break, resulting in a failed knot and potential complications.
Difficulty with knot-tying: Although Mishra's Knot is designed to simplify the knot-tying process, some surgeons may find it difficult to use the Mishra's Knot Pusher, leading to potential complications, such as knot slippage or entanglement.
Limited availability: The Mishra's Knot Pusher may not be widely available in all surgical centers, limiting its use and availability to patients who may benefit from this technique.
Learning curve: Like any new surgical technique, there may be a learning curve associated with using Mishra's Knot. Surgeons may need to undergo additional training or practice to become proficient in using the Mishra's Knot Pusher.
Suture migration: Mishra's Knot relies on the suture material to hold the tissue together. In some cases, the suture material may migrate from its intended location, resulting in potential complications, such as tissue damage or bleeding.
Overall, while complications associated with Laparoscopic Mishra's Knot are relatively rare, they can occur, and it's important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits of this technique with their surgeon before undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Surgeons must also be trained and experienced in using the Mishra's Knot Pusher to minimize the risk of complications.
