The gripper has a yaw motion including left and right positions and a roll motion either clockwise or counterclockwise. The open and closed positions, yaw motion, and roll motion are under manual control of a user through manual controls at a proximal end of the articulating laparoscopic device. The perimeter positions include a 12-oclock position proximal to the user and a 15 6-oclock position distal of the user. The method includes driving a suture at about the 6-oclock position through the bladder and then the duct wherein the suture needle is loaded forehand, the yaw is in a left position, and the roll is clockwise. Orientations and directions are provided for other suturing positions.
