This study describes how to do safe intracorporeal marking of structures during minimally invasive surgery by simple modification of a skin marking pen. We wish to publicize the use of a skin marking pen tip held within laparoscopic graspers as an effective, simple and cheap method to mark intracorporeal structures, avoiding tissue damage.
