A surgical needle for use in narrow, deep incisions in the abdominal wall opening into the abdominal cavity. The needle can be used to suture laparoscopic incisions and to suture an artery, ligament and the like which is reached through the incision. The needle has an elongated shaft with a proximally directed hook at its distal end. At its proximal end, there is a handle or indicia for indicating the direction of the hook. The hook is pointed and has an eye adjacent its point through which a suture can be threaded. The hook is of a size and shape that it can be inserted through the incision and manipulated from the opening of the shaft to place the suture "through and through" a selected portion of the abdominal wall from the base of the incision.
