Abstract:
The closure of surgical wounds can be improved by applying some basic techniques for suturing and for correcting suture errors. These techniques include 1) the locking stitch, 2) the pulley stitch for closing large gaping defects, and 3) a means of welding polyfilament synthetic polyamide suture and polypropylene suture.
