This video is a 4 part series on how to suture like a surgeon. In part 1, Dr. Webb talks about what suturing is, the different types of sutures, how to handle your instruments and how to throw an interrupted simple suture. #suture #howtosuture #howtosuturelikeasurgeon
How do you know which stitch to use to stitch up different wounds, or surgury a etc, i can’t find anything about it online. Is it just preference or just based on how much scarring it will make? I am a freshman in highschool so i’m still really young but i really want to be a surgeon when i’m older and i just bought a suture kit to practice.
Dr Anthonio I saw this tutorial after couple of days of ER rotation. I struggled suturing b/c of the way i used to sutures. I watched your video and practiced locking and unlocking the while walking , watching movie and wow now suturing is way easier and fun. And also the angle of the suture saved me a lot of sprain in my PALMAR MUSCLES. THANK YOU DOC.
Hi Dr. Webb, I am 13 years old and I just got a suture kit! I want to be an orthopedic surgeon and I am excited to start learning to how to sutures! Thank you.
Hi Dr Webb, I am a 13 year old kid and I think I might like to be a surgeon in the future, every time I watch a Dr Webb video I become more and more interested in medicine! I appreciate your vids very much Doctor!
THANK YOU so much, the instruments and suture types helped a lot. There are also no clear straightforward videos that show basic knots so this is a first of its kind on here, thanks again
15 yo male, you are a big inspiration and reminder to keep grinding. Definitely want to be an orthopedic or cardiac surgeon. Already shadowed with a PA and hoping to get in contact with a surgeon.
Very helpful series. Could you please consider making an in-depth video on suture handling. I feel like this is something a lot of students including myself struggle with.
Good video. Once you get to more complicated knots, it might be convenient to keep a close up point of view angle of the instruments. That way the tying method will be easier to follow. The switching between camera angles makes it a little bit more difficult. Keep it up! Cheers
Thanks to you I now know how to do a simple knot. I'm an MA and totally lost touch on how to properly suture, so I bought this exact kit and started to teach myself. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, my dream is to become an orthopedic surgeon and as medical students we don't get much training on that. This helped me to start preparing.
My favorite thing about this video is all the young people in the comments who want to go into the medical field! You guys follow that dream and never give up!!
this is actually quite challenging to follow with clear sutures. i probably had to go back to the same spot upwards of 10 times before i got it correctly
Dr Antonio, I hope you find and read this comment. I will like you to do a video on how to take proper care of our backs especially we software developers who spend lots of hours sitting down. Thanks
Everybody is different. I have never used Adson rat toothed pickups to skin. I use the side of my thumb and with a light pressure I push or pull away from the skin edge creating a pucker to catch the needle. I keep a sponge in that off hand. Unless receiving an instrument I don't "palm" it. One click only closing instruments. I've always kept my instruments tucked, ring or long finger. This allows me to use and keep needle drivers and suture scissors in one hand. Blunts up sharps down. Just as important is prepping....
@@antoniowebbmd ...This video helped me a lot. I am not doing Medical Assistance anymore but I am doing Medical Billing and Coding which I still need to know what kind of procedure was done and how. Your videos help me more than you will ever know. Thank you so much
The site is in the description (though not a hyperlink), but it's sold out (at least the 19-piece kit). Looks like the 25-piece kit is also sold on Amazon: amzn.to/39G6L25 $3 dollar difference when his coupon code is used on the manufacturer's website.
Thank-you for this VID, I was able to buy a Suture kit and stick my deep cut up. Wasn't easy being on the back off my hand but I got it done with the help of this video . I took a vid of it too...lol
These days, nobody needs education, we can be whatever we want. Mechanic, handy-man, programmer, and now, doctor! Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to perform suturing on my family when i may need to!!!
AAHHHHH I LOVED THISSSS OH MY GOSH future cardiovascular surgeon I am buying myself one right now ! Sidebar: it would be nice to see the first suture with the blue color thread
Very interesting. The way i was taught to do the final throw was to do it the same way as the other single loop throws. I see that you said to put it behind the suture when making the loop, instead of in front (near the wound midline) for the final one in order to "lock" the suture. This technique also makes you pull right two times in a row. Is there really any difference between just doing it the other way (in front of the suture and pulling to the left again, so alternating left right left right), the sutures still seem to hold pretty strong. Any literature on your technique. Thanks and much love.
This video was quite insightful! I’m very excited to practice this in the future! Thanks so much Dr. Webb, I hope I’m able to also inform people about this technique on my channel in the future!
Laugh out loud! My mom let me try out suturing on her as I am a 13 year old aspiring surgeon. Did not go as planned! She had to go back to the hospital 😂😂
@@Nightstalkers22 I never double-gloved in OR, but that would probably make for even better practice. I still have no idea how I got through the surgical rotation. I just barely knew how to tie knots from years prior.
HeavyProfessor HeavyProfessor I double glove just in case. I use the indicator blue glove as my first layer then a 8 latex over. This way if you contaminate your top glove you still have the first down. Also it protects from needle sticks and other sharps. But it absolutely helps ! But lol that’s great!
I'm just putting together a serious first aid kit and trying to learn how to patch myself up without dying. Anyone got any tips? Specifically for antisceptics and wound care in the wilderness.
Hello Dr. Antonio Webb, I am a 13 year old very interested in become a surgeon in the future. This video was not very helpful because I don't know how to actually do surgery.
@@clarissajones5299 No problemo! Being a surgeon is easy peasy 💯🔥🔥 My mom is actually a surgeon and let me help on her open heart surgery! It was very fun but, the patient didn't make it!! 💯😂😂

Hey, Antonio, do you know any good study methods for A and P 1 in college. I'm trying to become a Cardiothoracic surgeon and this class is giving me a rough time.
Lassoing Western I’ve taken this class at Michigan State University and 4.0’ed. I would say to learn the Latin roots of the words. That helped me a ton and even if I didn’t know a question on an exam I was able to get the answer just by knowing the Latin prefixes.
@@Baldwinthefourth-1176 Ok cool, thanks we have an exam every thursday and you have remember so much like identification, function, origin, and insertion.
Tip 1. Get a friend and lock yourself in a study - drill baby drill. Tip 2. The words have meaning in Latin - google the real meaning so that automatically you know what the root-word is referring to - for instance you know ostomy means pouch so you just have to figure location. Most anatomy is location based. Tip 3. Enjoy what you are learning don’t just cram and Tip 4. use 3 d program to study the image in an interactive way. Remember if you don’t like it now... you will have 10 - 16 yrs of A & P. Don’t study to pass an exam. Study as if you are walking to operate tomorrow.
The camera man is unprofessional Instead zooming to see those tiny thread n needle and the moves, it is rather far away n we can't actually see what is happening
Hi! I'm a CST student...just to let you guys know, you should NEVER load your blade like he just did. Use your needle driver to load it. In a surgery situation, we will load this thing for you. All we ask is you don't throw sharps at us like we have alligator skin...we bleed too.

Hi Dr. Webb, I am 13 years old and I just got a suture kit! I want to be an orthopedic surgeon and I am excited to start learning to how to sutures! Thank you.
me too! except i would like to be a plastic surgeon
I’d like to be a paediatric surgeon, or Cardio!
Me too! Except my main focus is Anesthesiology but I wanted to know the basic sutures
Me too but I’m interested in neurological, pediatric or general
Me too! I want to be a vet though
Picking up the needle with the needle driver is way harder than it looks!! First time I sutured was a complete fail hahah.
It takes practice but you got it!
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. thanks for doing this Dr. Webb! Huge fan of your videos, this will come in handy real soon for me!
Well, don't stop keep training
Hi Dr Webb, I am a 13 year old kid and I think I might like to be a surgeon in the future, every time I watch a Dr Webb video I become more and more interested in medicine! I appreciate your vids very much Doctor!

Absolutely wonderful. You'll never know, you just may become the US Surgeon General.
Hi Dr. Webb I’m a Surgical Assistant been doing it for years it’s always good to go back to the basic fundamentals in sururing. Thanks a Bumch🎉

My mentor is on it again...kudos sir
This brings back so many memories!
I´m not even studying medicine, but this is interesting nonetheless!
Lol same
I have a suture kit and absolutely love it! It helps clear my mind when I'm stressed.
this is actually quite challenging to follow with clear sutures. i probably had to go back to the same spot upwards of 10 times before i got it correctly
It would help to get a close-up view of the procedure.
Steven Teener true, can’t see the silk as clearly
Suturing is so fun. Nice video!
Awesome demonstration video! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
YESSS! This is exactly what I needed! If you said this is a great kit...that's it, that's the kit I'm going to choose!

Nice video. Editing always top tier
Thanks!!
I recommend apprentice doctors suture kit! They have good hold and tools!
I wish that they had that kit when I was taking Medical Assistant classes. This would have helped me a lot.
Yup! I wish I had it when I was doing my surgery rotations

I took a vid of it too...lol
Just bought one can’t wait to practice . 👏🏾
I use this kit every night to practice
Thank you for the delicate explanation👍
I was waiting for one hand suturing. That takes practice
One handed suturing? Do you mean one handed knot tying
@@lolugbenga yes... knot tying the sutures with one hand
These days, nobody needs education, we can be whatever we want. Mechanic, handy-man, programmer, and now, doctor! Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to perform suturing on my family when i may need to!!!

Really well explained thanks
i'm 15 and i want to be a surgeon when i'm older so i'm watching this video because i asked my parents for a suture kit for christmas lmao
This is amazing! Thank you so much

You are right, this does not create a sturdy square knot. Looping twice and then alternating is what we learn and teach in Amsterdam.
This video was quite insightful! I’m very excited to practice this in the future! Thanks so much Dr. Webb, I hope I’m able to also inform people about this technique on my channel in the future!
This seems pretty fun!
Laugh out loud! My mom let me try out suturing on her as I am a 13 year old aspiring surgeon. Did not go as planned! She had to go back to the hospital 😂😂
Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching
keep it up dr. webb!
Get the thick gloves and practice while wearing those
HeavyProfessor yep double glove
@@Nightstalkers22 I never double-gloved in OR, but that would probably make for even better practice. I still have no idea how I got through the surgical rotation. I just barely knew how to tie knots from years prior.
HeavyProfessor HeavyProfessor I double glove just in case. I use the indicator blue glove as my first layer then a 8 latex over. This way if you contaminate your top glove you still have the first down. Also it protects from needle sticks and other sharps. But it absolutely helps ! But lol that’s great!
@@Nightstalkers22 will be starting my psychiatry residency this July
HeavyProfessor That will be definitely interesting! Anything you are leaning to yet?
First he becomes a website to help you diagnose health issues now he teaches you how to suture.
When palming the needle driver, do you have your 4th finger in a hole on the handle?
I'm just putting together a serious first aid kit and trying to learn how to patch myself up without dying. Anyone got any tips? Specifically for antisceptics and wound care in the wilderness.
Is it feasible that I, a 13 year old could become a surgeon?
I believe it would be! As an aspiring 13 year old surgeon myself, I'm sure you'll be able to become an amazing surgeon one day!!!
Yessir! I need this 🙌🏾
Nice!
Love this! I’m a CST and would love to improve my suturing skills

How is the "thread" attached to the needle?
How do you keep the first throw tight so that when you knot it, it doesn’t slide and leave a slack suture
How are you liking the Image quality on the OEC CFD C-arm
Your VERY GOOD!! easy to follow, thorough and slow than you!!:))
Thanks!!
Tough to see with a clear monofilament suture!
Awesome! :)

I want to be that as well
Plot twist: there never was a suture the whole time and we've all been duped. I don't see a wire. Do you see a wire?
should have used black thread. The threat in the kit is black, this thread is very hard to see. Missed opportunity.
So do you have to be a medical student to purchase one those kits?
Hi Jennifer,
No you don’t have to be
I didn't get a viycrl suture? is that Normal
if i had a nickel for every time my mans sad suture, i'd be making as much money as him
Ok next time I’ll make a “suturing” video without saying the word “suture” thx!
@@antoniowebbmd nothing against you, just kinda threw me off
I don’t get it all I hear is loop around and what?
What if you’re left handed??
ezymk69 Do it backward
My hands shake when I try to Suture... Any advice? Thanks!
at the hospital or at home?
stabilize your forearm
If it’s due to nervousness consider taking a beta blocker, but if it’s not due to being nervous, maybe being a surgeon is not meant to be
No more addys
@@Eman1900O at home I shake a little, maybe because I drink a lot of coffe.. but at the hospital, or at dissections is way worse..

It seems like everyone is learning because they want to be a surgeon. Meanwhile I'm learning due to my gfs sibiling self harming and needing stitches.
