1. A trocar system for use in laparoscopic surgery, the trocar system comprising:
a suture needle guide member in which first and second through-holes interconnected to each other are formed, and first and second suture needle guide holes are formed as two elongated lumens inclined at different angles and formed, respectively, at opposite sides of the suture needle guide member;
a trocar, which is detachably coupled to the suture needle guide member and which passes through the first and second through-holes of the suture needle guide member, the trocar having a space therein, the trocar having third and fourth suture needle guide holes facing the first and second suture needle guide holes of the suture needle guide member and formed at one side of an outer surface of the trocar that passes through the first and second through-holes of the suture needle guide member while passing into the space of the trocar; and
the trocar having fifth and sixth suture needle guide holes facing the first and second suture needle guide holes of the suture needle guide member formed at an opposite side of the outer surface of the trocar, the fifth and sixth suture needle guide holes do not pass through the first and second through-holes of the suture needle guide member
a trocar-containing unit, which is detachably coupled to the suture needle guide member, having a central through-hole through which the trocar passes, wherein the central through-hole of the trocar-containing unit is formed around the outer surface of the trocar, and the trocar-containing unit having seventh and eighth suture needle guide holes facing the third and fourth suture needle guide holes of the trocar and formed on one side of an outer surface of the trocar-containing unit adjacent the side of the trocar passing through the first and second through-holes of the suture needle guide member; and
a suture needle provided with a suture thread that is guided through the first, third, fifth, and seventh suture needle guide holes and then through the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth suture needle guide holes;
wherein the trocar coupled to the suture needle guide member and the trocar-containing unit coupled to the suture needle guide member are configured to be inserted into an abdominal cavity of a patient to form a peritoneal hole while passing through a peritoneum, and when a laparoscopic surgery is completed by an endoscope and surgical instrument inserted into the abdominal cavity of the patient through the through-holes while the trocar is separated from the suture needle guide member, the endoscope and surgical instrument are configured to be pulled out of the first and second through-holes of the suture needle guide member and the trocar is then coupled to the suture needle guide member, and the peritoneal hole is configured to be sutured with a suture thread by guiding the suture needle through the first, third, fifth, and seventh suture needle guide holes and then through the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth suture needle guide holes;
wherein the suture needle guide member comprises:
a first body, which is detachably coupled to the trocar-containing unit, having first and second guide parts formed to be elongated and to protrude in longitudinal directions on opposite sides of an inner surface of the first through-hole of the first body, respectively, and the first and second suture needle guide holes elongated and inclined in the longitudinal directions comprise the lumens on outer surfaces of the first and second guide parts; and
a second body which is inserted into the central through-hole of the trocar-containing unit and detachably coupled to the trocar, in which the central through-hole of the trocar-containing unit is connected to the second through-hole formed in a center of the second body, and the second body has first and second guide grooves into which the first and second guide parts are inserted while being guided to the first and second guide parts, the first and second guide grooves formed respectively on opposite sides of the outer surface of the second through-hole formed in the center of the second body.
