As a non-surgeon, non-doctor, non-student with an interest in acquiring skills which could be useful later, I appreciate your videos and clear explanations.
I have no idea why ANYONE would give these videos a thumbs down. Dr. Zenn is perfect in his explanations and demonstrations of the techniques. He's far better than any of my instructors. I'm very grateful for these videos.
Dr. Zenn is Amazing. It must be people who hate knowledge. I would attend medical school just to be taught by him. I just learned how to suture in its many forms. Thanks Doc, you are exceptional!
I am not a surgeon or a medical student just a 60 years old lady still interested and learning about everything in case I need to help someone out in an emergency when no one else is available. Thank you very much for this video.
Hands down the best, most simply presented, clearly demonstrated, and easily followed suturing tutorials I have watched to date. Thank you. Keep up the wonderful work.
Once again, you are the best Dr. Zenn! You have taught me every single suture not that I know including the surgeons tonight at the beginning of a throw. And then went to have three throws or four or more throws depending on what kind of suture thread you’re using! Please keep on with your videos! You are teaching individuals that are going to need these techniques on the battlefield or on the emergency room! You have people of all walks of life watching you! Thanks Doc! 🙏💜🇺🇸
I have to thank you. I used this video to learn basic stitches for my work as a veterinary assistant. This was the first one to explain it in a sensible and very easy way. Really, thank you so much. Simple, calm, right to the point, perfect.
hey dr zenn ive just now joined med school and i really wanted to get to know sutures and practice em before uni starts and ive never understood anything better ..thanks a lot ..
Hey, hope everything’s going well for you! Do you have any tips or advice for someone thinking of going to med school? Im really passionate about getting into medicine but after reading a lot about it, I’ve heard that many people find it completely takes over their life and causes them a lot of stress. What’s your personal experience on the workload if you don’t mind me asking?
I’m almost 15 y/o. I plan on being a surgeon. Either neuro or general. I’ve never understood anything better. You explained this so we. I took a ton of notes. Thank you!!
Hello Mary, now we are in 2024 and about 5 years ago you wrote a comment here And now that I red your comment I'd like to ask you if you still are on your old wish? A medical student ?
I am a PA student and have watched this video multiple times before my ED and general surgery rotations! Thank you so much for the clear explanations and wonderful demonstrations. Appreciate you Dr. Zenn!
Thank you so much. I am currently in the process of building my own medical faciality to perform surgeries. I have never been to med school, so these sort of videos really help me learn the procedure. Hopefully someone trusts me enough to let me give it a shot
Doc Zenn, that is some fine semestering. When I was in med school my instructor would just shake her head and tell my “Your not roping cattle” Sir, it is a treat to see quality instruction.
Excuse my ignorance, but what was she trying to say by "you're not roping cattle". Did she mean that you were being too slow and meticulous? I've never seen sutures as neat and carefully done as the ones in this video. Ive had to get sutured several times and mine always looked like they were done by a 10 year old with Parkinson's.
@@travism9339 Abby's point was that "you're not roping cattle" is not very instructive. Probably meant "you're not tying it right" or "you're being too rough", but wanted to say it in a creative way in order to sound more intelligent/instructive. This video on the contrary (Abby wanted to highlight the difference) is very precise in its instructions, provides elaboration where necessary, and includes context on each of the types of sutures. Superb instruction.
@@seeker296 Yes, seeker....I understand the point she was making. What I didnt understand was what the phrase her instructor used was supposed to mean.
This may have been the best 20 minutes I've ever spent on TH-cam. I'm about to start my emergency medicine rotation and really hope to get to do some more suturing!
Just finishing up med school, surgery is my final exam and then hopefully onwards to my first surgery post. Thanks a lot Dr Zenn, of all the TH-cam tutorials, yours are the most thorough, no BS, and all-round brilliantly put together videos. Thank you very much for putting this out there, class of 2020 definitely need it!

Im really passionate about getting into medicine but after reading a lot about it, I’ve heard that many people find it completely takes over their life and causes their mental health to plummet, did u find this was the case or are people trying to scare me off😅
@@alexxx3021 COOL, I’m almost year 12 (doing end of year exams now), are you American though since I think the grading system is different.

Bunch of people just get the degree, do a year of intern to get the license, and go into other fields, like pharma, private equity research, MBB consulting, or biotech.

Just going through these comments. I came off my bike a few years ago and rather than panic my mind went straight to putting my bike in a safe place as i checked it and it wasn't totalled. The next thing was checking my body top to toe (I was wearing a helmet) I discovered i had torn the top layer of skin appart. I knew It was an easy fix and only needed sterile strips to close. I sorted it and cycled home without needing to sort for a few days. But when I was sorting my arm I realised there where other people commenting how hard core and straight to the job I was. Honestly its because of people like Dr Zenn that I was confident in what I saw, what I was carrying and knowing I could sort it. Medical school or not. . .knowing how to heal yourself in a bad situation could be life or death. And knowing simple or involved techniques with the right equipment is invaluable. A big thank you to Dr zenn for sharing 🙏.
I'm at the end of my family medicine NP internship, and this is hands down the best suturing tutorial on TH-cam. Who needs lecture when you got 19 minutes of Dr. Zenn! The one suture I saw elsewhere which wasn't mentioned is the "pulley suture". I haven't used it clinically but it's basically a vertical mattress but right before you do your instrument tie you place the needle through the last loop on the opposite site and then tie it off. It basically locks big gaping wounds. I'm not sure how practical it is clinically though in comparison to the ones doc mentioned as I'm sure many of them have similar locking strength. Thanks so much doc!
Thank you so much for this video. I am only 14 years old and will be a freshman in high school. Though, I am very interested in becoming an orthopedic or a cardio-thoracic surgeon. I found this video very helpful to learn about suturing.
Once the Lidocaine is in, it's not a big deal unless you're squeamish. You can't feel it. It's just like sewing cloth except you have to be more precise with your stitching.
Dr. Zenn: your knowledge & skill levels are clearly on display here at a high level. That last stitch you used looked to be by far the most effective suture if your goal is to leave as minimal a scar as possible. How long did it take you to perfect or master that level of suturing skill as demonstrated in this video? On 4-21-1980 I was in a severe near death accident. As a passenger getting a ride back to college, the driver crashed off a 250-cliff, atop a 3700-foot mountain in W.VA. I was transported via air rescue helicopter to Roanoke Memorial Hospital where I underwent a 7-hour surgery. I broke my jaw in 3-places & on both sides. However my right cheek, ear, eye, and neck suffered severe lacerations requiring a plastic surgeon then, and for the subsequent 6 more surgeries required over 14-years. I was extremely lucky that Dr. Kong, a very gifted plastic surgeon was available to perform the wound suturing. I had a total of 157-plus stitches when finished. It is absolutely amazing what a truly skilled plastic surgeon can do! I mean AMAZING! My right face looked so awful, and suffered so much damage I never ever thought it would look even OK. Dr. Kong did an absolutely incredible job, and even though scars exist with any major wounds, I was extremely pleased, and each subsequent surgery only improved my facial scars. I can even shave with a normal razor without any differenceor caution while shaving over all those scars. My point is, suturing and/or stitching is an extremely important skill regardless of where it's being performed to avoid scarring. IMHO I believe many, if not most, non-plastic surgeon doctors perform sutures for speed and for simple fast closure. However, the patient has to live with those scars the rest of their life. I think there are a lot of Surgeons that should maybe give a little more time & effort when closing a wound, and perfect their skills for both themselves as well as the patient. Thanks for an excellent tutorial video on how to perform suturing. William ~
I just bought a nice practice suture set. Not in med-school or any school for that matter, just a nursing assistant. I've always had a secret dream of working in surgery from when I was a kid that was shut down because I wasn't academically strong and your videos helped me learn that I might have a knack for it. Thank you so much Dr.Zenn for this free lesson!

Beautiful is your teaching.I at age of 72 was not knowing all thase ,though graduated in 1973 and practicing medicine for 45 years.I used to stitch only simple sutures.I learned that simple suture in college.I am very much thank ful to you ,so that I can teach my son and grand son how to suture.
I'm ready to run to Publix supermarket, buy a whole chicken or some pigs feet, order some veterinarian suture needles and thread from Amazon, and start practicing! I wouldn't do this on myself or anyone else without the proper training, of course, unless the circumstances were most dire but Dr. Zenn really breaks this down in a way that gives you the confidence to practice. His students are blessed to have him to learn from.
I have realized that using simple buried suture and subcuticular running suture works very well for open heart surgical suturing, this way the patients wouldn’t keep on looking at their scars, it will help them mentally feel comfortable about themselves ☺️
I came here to know how my surgeon did his suture so nicely and I learned that he used the subcuticular running suture for my laparotomy procedure. this video is really helpful for somebody so curious like me haha
Medicine is a skill acquired by anyone with time and practice. Does anyone learn how to tie their shoes upon the first try? Does anyone learn how to do a perfect 3-point turn in an automobile the first time? Does anyone learn how to eat "chicken noodle" soup...without having some product land on their' shirt of pants the first time. Answer; NO. Impossible. So...this is just a skill,...not to be in "awe of"...just another skill....like anything in life. We get good at what we practice and what we "wish to get good at". Nice video. Thank you.
Well you know what you are motivating people to become quack doctors. If practice is everything then why the hell doctors study anatomy,physiology and what not fucking subjects.
peachyava Yes you are, you have that mentality because you think you’re dumb. You aren’t dumb, you just are too young right now. Hold on to the reason as to why you want to become a surgeon, you’ll make it trust me!! ❤️
I've practiced; first out of a manual and next, a suture kit with several different injuries (I'm an RN). MY method is simple : see one, do one, teach one. I'm very hands on!
I've got a basic kit that I ordered from Amazon for about $30 that is in my trauma kit which I bring on all camping trips it pretty much contains all of the instruments as well as a variety of sutures. All in sterile Packaging. I would not recommend using thread mainly because thread is pretty much non-sterile. And if it's an absolute life or death emergency I would recommend a trauma dressing something like quikclot or a hemcon if it's just a cut that may need stitches I would recommend two things which have worked for me when I was a machinist and that is super glue and steri-strips. However, keep in mind that super glue is non-sterile but does seal a wound extremely well. And is really good to close a wound quickly to prevent infection. Just make sure to clean out the cut really well prior to applying it.
I always say that God is there. but not in temples. the real god lives in hospitals . Respect for all the doctor's who's working hard to give there patients a healthy and happy life👍👍
Excellent lecture on suturing techniques.During our time, they don’t have videos like this to guide the surgical residents.Today,surgical residents are lucky; everything is on the media.Thank you Dr.Zenn.
Dr. Zenn, thank you for your time providing these demonstrations with perfect explanations. I live far away, med student, and without that demonstration, with lousy instructions where I study, I'd never make progress. Thank you.
Damn didn't notice this video was 10 years old. The last suture is one a kind. That last trick of how to hide the knot surprised me. You learn something new every day
Hick yeah! Thank you! I's so pleased y'all shared this tid bit a information! I bin stitchin me self and any one willing to let me stitch em up for years now, least now I have some real life professional teachings for my future endeavours! Thank ya again kind sir!
Having next to no real medical experience (beyond the lab) his video was good enough that I feel I could dive into a cadaver and successfully do everything short of the subcuticular run. I feel working in the dermal layer would require some experience, but I'd definitely give it a go.
Dew Wisp I think what gave it away was the fact that he probably didn't runaround slashing people's skins , and offering to fix it . But I agree, it shouldn't be that pale
Thank you so much for the great detailed explanation. I knew some of the stitches that were being done however did not know that there was a technical name for them. It's nice to see how they all can kind of work together. I understand now why some of my scars are visible and others are almost non-existent. It's nice to see the attention to detail.
we are building a community not dependent on corporate institutions for medical care. these youtube instructional videos are a blessing. it was a good demonstration, thank you

I have realized that using simple buried suture and subcuticular running suture works very well for open heart surgical suturing, this way the patients wouldn’t keep on looking at their scars, it will help them mentally feel comfortable about themselves ☺️
Its like watching an artist paint. I have watched it so many times , yet learning some nuances every time.
I came here to know how my surgeon did his suture so nicely and I learned that he used the subcuticular running suture for my laparotomy procedure. this video is really helpful for somebody so curious like me haha
Glad you're here, welcome!
Medicine is a skill acquired by anyone with time and practice.
Does anyone learn how to tie their shoes upon the first try? Does anyone learn how to do a perfect 3-point turn in an automobile the first time? Does anyone learn how to eat "chicken noodle" soup...without having some product land on their' shirt of pants the first time.
Answer; NO. Impossible. So...this is just a skill,...not to be in "awe of"...just another skill....like anything in life. We get good at what we practice and what we "wish to get good at".
Nice video. Thank you.
I do everything great the first time, and perfect the second. On a bad day ;)

Frank From Upstate NY very motivating
Well you know what you are motivating people to become quack doctors.
If practice is everything then why the hell doctors study anatomy,physiology and what not fucking subjects.

nobody:
me: a 12-year-old watching this for their dream job as a surgeon knowing their probs not gonna make it to med school :)
NOPE, you're going to make it. Just believe in yourself!
peachyava me too!!
Omg samee
peachyava Yes you are, you have that mentality because you think you’re dumb. You aren’t dumb, you just are too young right now. Hold on to the reason as to why you want to become a surgeon, you’ll make it trust me!! ❤️
Yeah .. the same thoughts that I had when I was 12 .. now I'm a medical student😂
Just stick to it .. work hard and you'll make it😊
Thanks Duke for the fantastic video!!!
Thank God for you Dr Zen. You have helped me develop the confidence I was lacking to begin suturing.
Not MD, RN-OR, did simple in military, outstanding presentation, bringing back salient memories. Thank you
Why in the whole world would you dislike this video...wtf is wrong with ? Put it in a comment
thank you #Duke Suture Skills for sharing this.
agree
completely agree.
Haters gona Hate...
Maybe someone who didn't get into Duke? haha
Man, calm down, don't worry for shits. My opinion is youtube auto generate dislikes just for balance.
About 85% of people who are watching this video probably watch greys anatomy and are wondering how a "running whipstitch" is done lol
so right 😂
+Yaselainy Mejia yes!!!!
Dominic V omg yes
Dominic V I love greys anatomy so much. I bought a suture pad and I'm trying to learn this but how tf do you even do the tie ughh
If im going to watch greys anatomy should i start watching from season 1?
Getting ready to start premed classes, very helpful! Thank you!
good luck!
@@ella9163 .
I'm here from my Family Nurse Practitioner program watching this for lol. It was linked in our course Blackboard
I've practiced; first out of a manual and next, a suture kit with several different injuries (I'm an RN). MY method is simple : see one, do one, teach one.
I'm very hands on!
Perfect !
Best I've ever seen
Many thanks
I was watching hiking video but out of nowhere, i got this in recommended and i watched it with full interest... And i'm engineer...

Looking at my sutured wound, and just realising how trained my surgeon is

When a situation comes that I need to suture myself, can I use an ordinary thread?
Ordinary thread is not sterile and could cause an infection and a bad scar. But it worked in the old days! Sometimes.
@@DrZenn - What if out camping remotely, can the thread be boiled to help reduce infection risk a bit?
I've got a basic kit that I ordered from Amazon for about $30 that is in my trauma kit which I bring on all camping trips it pretty much contains all of the instruments as well as a variety of sutures. All in sterile Packaging. I would not recommend using thread mainly because thread is pretty much non-sterile. And if it's an absolute life or death emergency I would recommend a trauma dressing something like quikclot or a hemcon if it's just a cut that may need stitches I would recommend two things which have worked for me when I was a machinist and that is super glue and steri-strips. However, keep in mind that super glue is non-sterile but does seal a wound extremely well. And is really good to close a wound quickly to prevent infection. Just make sure to clean out the cut really well prior to applying it.
@@JayBeckah Better to try and sterilize with alcohol
I am a medical student from India. And watch this video almost 12 time . amazing sir . .great techniques God bless you
His technique is ABSOLUTELY superb!
thank you for sharing your techniques and tips
I always say that God is there. but not in temples. the real god lives in hospitals . Respect for all the doctor's who's working hard to give there patients a healthy and happy life👍👍
Gz
And now my prof is asking me to watch this for learning😭 when can i go back to school
Excellent lecture on suturing techniques.During our time, they don’t have videos like this to guide the surgical residents.Today,surgical residents are lucky; everything is on the media.Thank you Dr.Zenn.
Dr. Zenn, thank you for your time providing these demonstrations with perfect explanations. I live far away, med student, and without that demonstration, with lousy instructions where I study, I'd never make progress. Thank you.

Damn didn't notice this video was 10 years old. The last suture is one a kind. That last trick of how to hide the knot surprised me. You learn something new every day
Hick yeah! Thank you! I's so pleased y'all shared this tid bit a information! I bin stitchin me self and any one willing to let me stitch em up for years now, least now I have some real life professional teachings for my future endeavours! Thank ya again kind sir!
I hate it when my doctor turns on this video before putting in my stitches 😔
How he hid the knot under the skin with the subcuticular running suture was nice !
Good video
Hiii daisy 😂 be frand me
I dont know why i m watching this i m a geologist
Georges Cuvier hahahahahaha this gives me a hard core laugh
I'm a janitor
👅👂🐬🚈👣👂📱📞
and im a dumbass bitch so wtf am i doing here
Iam in 10 th class
Starting ENT (Otolaryngology) in the UK and found this super helpful. Thank you!
Having next to no real medical experience (beyond the lab) his video was good enough that I feel I could dive into a cadaver and successfully do everything short of the subcuticular run. I feel working in the dermal layer would require some experience, but I'd definitely give it a go.
"That skin is too pale that person must not be alive"
Me, a natural shade of ghost: .... >_>
They arent tho lol
But are you absorbing the content??
I'm assuming this was done on a cadaver. The skin is too pale for this to be a live person, and the lack of bleeding.
exactly what I was thinking
Dew Wisp I think what gave it away was the fact that he probably didn't runaround slashing people's skins , and offering to fix it . But I agree, it shouldn't be that pale
Dew Wisp possibly a corpse
Human cadaver.
I was wondering about this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the great detailed explanation. I knew some of the stitches that were being done however did not know that there was a technical name for them. It's nice to see how they all can kind of work together. I understand now why some of my scars are visible and others are almost non-existent. It's nice to see the attention to detail.

we are building a community not dependent on corporate institutions for medical care. these youtube instructional videos are a blessing. it was a good demonstration, thank you
I am a nurse and learn lot from the video. great one sir
