A surgical incision suturing device particularly suited for minimally invasive surgical procedures integrates an elongated member such as a trocar with a suture deployment device. In one embodiment, the suturing device of the present invention includes an elongated member having a distal end adapted for placement within a surgical site. A pair of needle assemblies is disposed in substantially diametric opposition on the outside surface of the elongated member. Each of the needle assemblies includes a suture anchor coupled to the distal end of a needle shaft. In a further aspect, each of the needle assemblies is detachably coupled to the elongated member and biased to pivot radially outward from the elongated member at the detachable coupling.
