Method of suturing a trocar path incision

A method of suturing a trocar path incision in a tissue of a patient with an obturator, wherein the obturator includes a proximal head, a distal tip configured to penetrate tissue of a patient, a shaft extending from the proximal head to the distal tip and configured to be received within a working channel of a cannula assembly, and a suturing feature configured to receive a suture, the method comprising:

• (a) inserting the obturator through the tissue such that the shaft extends through a tissue opening about the trocar path incision and the distal tip is positioned within a cavity of the patient;
• (b) directing the suture via the suturing feature with the obturator inserted through the tissue in order to direct the suture relative to the tissue;
• and
• (c) closing the tissue opening about the trocar path incision with the suture.
