INTRODUCTION: The completion of sutures and knots are the most difficult surgical maneuvers at laparoscopy. The ability to perform them during videolaparoscopy allowed surgeons to perform procedures of greater complexity with more security. The training should follow the same guidelines as the teaching of basic procedures. For this purpose, means may be found in trade or being prepared by a surgeon. AIM: To update techniques used in laparoscopic suturing. METHODS: Are described the techniques used with figures to demonstrate how to accomplish them. CONCLUSION: There is a significant gap in the scientific literature describing and illustrating the different suturing techniques in laparoscopic surgery, and there are many technical details for making surgery knots. Their knowledge is important to allow the surgeon to choose appropriately in different situations and surgical strategies what to use. The systematic technique of knots and sutures in laparoscopic surgery makes the procedure easier and safer and should be increasingly disseminated.
