A laparoscopic suturing device that allows the insertion and formation of intracorporeal knots in a safe and speedy manner during laparoscopic procedures. The laparoscopic suturing device includes an ergonomic handle and a long tubular shaft that contains a connecting rod inside. The proximal end of said connecting rod is attached to a deploying knob and its distal end is linked to a movable needle support that contains a suturing needle. The suturing device is inserted into the gas distended abdominal cavity with the needle in a straight position through a laparoscopic cannula and then by moving backwards said deploying knob the needle is deployed in a right angle allowing the insertion of a variety of sutures. The laparoscopic suturing device is provided with an encasement to keep a spool of suture material in place.
