Surgical suture

soft tissue with the addition of sutures. The needles most often used in this type of surgery are curved. The curvature of the instrument allows the operator to cleanly sure up the area without intrusion of the underlying bone. The needle point should be a “cutting” type so the needle’s journey through the mucosa is smooth. A needle driver holds the curved needle and insures proper angulation and penetration of tissue. Once the suture is through, ends of the suture are used to create a proper surgeon’s

Laparoscopic surgery is one of the most commonly used modality in surgical technique, being performed 7.5 million surgeries annually worldwide. It is an alternative technique for carrying out many operations that have traditionally required an open approach. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery performed though small incisions. It presents benefits, compared with traditional open surgeries, including shorten recovery times; lower postoperative morbidity; allow patients to return to work and

Canyon University Introduction to Nursing Research NRS 433V 2012 Research Critique, Part 2 This research critique is an article called Comparison of suture types in the closure of scalp wounds written by Joseph Bonham and published in Emergency Nurse. In the emergency room two different types of sutures permanent and non permanent sutures are used as well as glue for lacerations. Scalp wounds are difficult as pressure to wound as well as the hair of the scalp. The research discusses the end

highlight of this silk being put to public use is that it can suture jawbone injuries because they need a strong material, meaning thicker, when suturing up the wound since this area cannot remain immobile like normal repairs, causing thinner and less durable materials to break. Silk, on the other hand, is thinner and more durable and adding this to current suturing materials leads to less scar tissue and a decreased chance in the sutures ripping out. The good thing about goats is that they don’t kill

to view the person before her as a mere body to be fixed and not get caught up in the emotion. Easy for him to say… Pawl dropped the tweezers into the collection bowl and wiped off his hands on his apron. “I’ve got all the fragments. Joan, we must suture now.” Doing her best to block out Wallace’s whimpers, she leaned in and wiped his wounds with a rag doused in clove oil. The pungent oil acted as a numbing agent, but the concoction stung and burned during the initial application. “You are doing

dressing to the wound. Keywords Skin transplantation / Reconstructive surgical procedure / surgical fixation devices. Introduction Skin grafting is the most common procedure used in reconstructive surgery. Tie-over dressing is the most common technique used to fix the skin graft to the recipient bed, decrease the dead space, and prevent hematoma and seroma under the graft. The classic method consists of the use of long silk sutures along the edges of the graft that are tied over impregnated non-adherent

However, barbed sutures shorten operative time and therefore reduce hospital expenses. Intestinal obstruction may occur if the cut end of the barbed suture is left long. The free end of the barbed suture can attach to the bowel or the mesentery causing kinking and narrowing of the bowel or volvulus. Several authors recommended cutting the ends of the barbed sutures flush with the tissues, burying the ends of the barbed sutures or covering the ends of the barbed sutures with surgicel or
