    Area of Science:

    • Surgical techniques
    • Surgical knots
    • Ligature methods

    Background:

    • Traditional surgical knot tying can be challenging in certain anatomical locations.
    • Tying secure ligatures, especially with synthetic or elastic materials, requires specific techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel one-handed surgical knot-tying technique.
    • To demonstrate its utility for creating strong, slip-resistant ligatures.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a specific one-handed technique for surgeon's or friction knot.
    • Emphasis on practice for proficiency.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for smooth and rapid knot tying.
    • It produces strong, slip-resistant ligatures suitable for difficult areas.

    Conclusions:

    • This one-handed method is highly recommended for slippery synthetic sutures.
    • It is particularly useful for ligating elastic structures where standard knots may fail.
