Methods of using a surgical suturing device are disclosed. The methods may contemplate a surgical suturing device comprising a grasper device that is translatable within an outer lumen. The methods may comprise grasping a first end of a needle with the grasper device. The needle may be resilient to a curved resting state. The methods may also comprise translating the grasper device proximally relative to the outer lumen such that the needle is translated into the outer lumen, wherein the outer lumen tends to straighten the needle from the curved resting state and moving the outer lumen distally towards tissue. The grasper device may be translated distally relative to the outer lumen such that a second end of the needle extends distally from the outer lumen and pierces the tissue. The needle may return to the curved resting state as it exits the outer lumen. The methods may also comprise releasing the first end of the needle from the grasper device. When a second end of the needle emerges from the tissue, the second end of the needle may be grasped with the grasper device.
