If you don't know what suture you're going to use you're going to be standing there with a blank look and mounting anxiety. What suture for a bowel anastomosis? What suture for sewing skin? What suture for a fascial closure? What suture for a vascular anastomosis? There are so many different kinds of suture to use that it can make your head spin. In this video on surgical suture I'm going to make it easy. Surgical suture can be broken down into three main categories as every suture has these three properties: 1. It's either monofilament or multifilament (braided) 2. It's either synthetic or biologic (natural) in source 3. It's either absorbable or permanent. For example, monocryl is a monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture! In this video I'm going to go through the strengths and weaknesses of each of the categories. I'm going to tell you why I love to tie with multifilament suture and why monofilament suture can be a pain! One thing that is incredibly important with surgical suture is knowing how long each suture is going to last. For example, how long does monocryl last in a wound? How about PDS? Vicryl? Why is FAST absorbing gut a poor suture choice for fascia? What makes it a great suture choice for closing facial lacerations? I'm also going to tell you what suture I like for the following problems: 1.). Sewing skin 2.). Bowel anastomosis 3.). Fascial closure 4.).
