AB  - Robot-assisted surgery has seen significant advancements 
in recent years, with dedicated training opportunities to 
acquire adequate skills. With improved degree of rotation 
and movement offered by the robot arm, newer techniques 
of knot tying need to be developed. Here we present a 
novel method of knot tying to help place a secure knot, 
especially with short suture length.
