A laparoscopic fascial closure device ( 10 ) for fashioning a secure closure about a laparoscopic puncture site. The device comprises an elongate cannula ( 12 ) having proximal ( 12 a) and distal ( 12 b) ends. A needle suture complex ( 22 ) is selectively deployed from the distal end ( 12 b) of the device that is operative to deploy a suture across the puncture site from within the body and draw the free ends of the suture outwardly from the body via the laparoscopic port site. The device ( 10 ) is configured to be utilized through a ten millimeter or larger laparoscopic port, and is operative to position the suture at the puncture site such that the suture extends in a diametrically-opposed configuration at least 1.0 cm or greater across opposed sides of the puncture site.
