The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medical needle with which, compared to a conventionally known suture thread guide needle, puncture, handling, and perforation are easy when guiding a suture thread along a hernia orifice beneath the skin, and therefore, the medical needle enables the execution of an LPEC method using simpler procedures. The purpose is accomplished by a medical needle comprising: a loop member provided with a loop needle the distal end of which has a loop-shaped structure, and a grip part the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the loop needle； a threading member that is provided with a tubular threading needle and a tubular grip part the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the threading needle, and that is configured so that the loop member can pass through the threading member from the distal end thereof； and a puncturing member that is provided with a tubular puncture needle the distal end of which has a sharp-angled structure and a tubular grip part the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the puncture needle, and that is configured so that the threading member can pass through the puncturing member from the distal end thereof.
