A suture placement device for the placement of a suture after the removal of an endoscopic trocar port, the suture placement device comprising: a cannular housing configured to be insertable into a trocar port of a determined width, the cannular housing comprising: a proximal portion and a distal portion, and having a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion; an extension mechanism movably coupled to the distal portion of the cannular housing, the extension mechanism comprising: a first segment with a first terminus and a first receptor in proximity to the first terminus, and a second segment with a second terminus and a second receptor in proximity to the second terminus, the extension mechanism being movable between a folded position, with the first segment and second segment being oriented for passage through the trocar port, and an extended position, with a lateral axis extending from the first terminus to the second terminus and being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, and a first stylet guide and a second stylet guide, each stylet guide comprising: a proximal end, a distal end, and a stylet guide suture path segment between the proximal end and the distal end, each stylet guide being movable between a retracted position such that the stylet guide is oriented for passage through the trocar port, and a deployed position where a portion of the stylet guide extends from the housing to one of the first and second receptors of the extension mechanism, characterised in that the first receptor is a first receptor port, in that the second receptor is a second receptor port, in that the first segment and second segment provide a distal suture passage extending from the first receptor port to the second receptor port, and in that the distal suture passage includes a suture release slot. a cannular housing configured to be insertable into a trocar port of a determined width, the cannular housing comprising: a proximal portion and a distal portion, and having a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion; a proximal portion and a distal portion, and having a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion; an extension mechanism movably coupled to the distal portion of the cannular housing, the extension mechanism comprising: a first segment with a first terminus and a first receptor in proximity to the first terminus, and a second segment with a second terminus and a second receptor in proximity to the second terminus, the extension mechanism being movable between a folded position, with the first segment and second segment being oriented for passage through the trocar port, and an extended position, with a lateral axis extending from the first terminus to the second terminus and being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, and a first segment with a first terminus and a first receptor in proximity to the first terminus, and a second segment with a second terminus and a second receptor in proximity to the second terminus, the extension mechanism being movable between a folded position, with the first segment and second segment being oriented for passage through the trocar port, and an extended position, with a lateral axis extending from the first terminus to the second terminus and being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, and a folded position, with the first segment and second segment being oriented for passage through the trocar port, and an extended position, with a lateral axis extending from the first terminus to the second terminus and being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, a first stylet guide and a second stylet guide, each stylet guide comprising: a proximal end, a distal end, and a stylet guide suture path segment between the proximal end and the distal end, a proximal end, a distal end, and a stylet guide suture path segment between the proximal end and the distal end, each stylet guide being movable between a retracted position such that the stylet guide is oriented for passage through the trocar port, and a deployed position where a portion of the stylet guide extends from the housing to one of the first and second receptors of the extension mechanism, a retracted position such that the stylet guide is oriented for passage through the trocar port, and a deployed position where a portion of the stylet guide extends from the housing to one of the first and second receptors of the extension mechanism, characterised in that the first receptor is a first receptor port, in that the second receptor is a second receptor port, in that the first segment and second segment provide a distal suture passage extending from the first receptor port to the second receptor port, and in that the distal suture passage includes a suture release slot.
