Zusammenfassung:	We describe a technique to assist in the placement of percutaneous anchoring sutures when used in poorly accessible tunnels such as in rhinoplasty by using a sucker tube to guide retrieval and placement of the suture needle. This technique avoids unintended catching of the needle on soft tissue within the tunnel, which could prevent the structure from becoming anchored at other than in its intended location.
