A surgical suturing assembly and method of suturing are provided. The suturing assembly comprises a surgical needle having a hump or arch within a casing or sheath having an aperture, wherein the hump or arch of the needle protrudes through the casing aperture. A suture is attached to the needle, casing or both. In use, a surgeon deforms the hump of the needle, forcing the sharpened distal point of the needle to project through the distal opening of the casing. Once the distal portion of the needle/casing assembly penetrates the tissue, the deforming force is released which causes the needle to return to its original position, leaving an unsharpened point for further manipulation. The chance of needle-stick is thus greatly reduced.
