    Still remember what my consultant told me while I was doing my O&G placement back in med school. PDS stands for "Pretty Damn Strong", that's why you use it to close the abdominal fascia.

    Thank you. I am a newer OR Nurse and I have struggled learning suture because I'm told to get suture but can't see where the surgeon uses it. Last week I was asked to get suture and I said "SH or CT?" The surgeon said he was using it for bowel. I started studying deeper into my books and as found your videos. Big help.

    Great video, I am doing my SFA placement and I needed to know more about the sutures so this information that you have provided has given me the basic knowledge of sutures and I love the category or classification, beautifully done. I would like to know about the retratures used in different specialities next and why.

    Great video Doc. I'm a layperson showing interest in sutures as I had rotator cuff repair last year using permanent synthetic braided suture in a knotless repair. My question is.. are permanent sutures used in such tendon repairs as they need long term support to heal and the absorbable sutures lose their tensile strength too quickly? Thank you once again for a great video.

    • @citizensurgeon
      @citizensurgeon  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the question and Yes! Every different operation has different goals. Absorbable sutures, for example those for a bowel anastomosis or sewing skin, we want to go away over time. Permanent sutures we want to hold their strength forever and we see those used in both orthopedic surgery and in vascular surgery. Long term support is exactly right. I appreciate you engaging and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you again!

    Hi Doc. 👋
    Once again, thanks for an awesome video. I'm just wondering if you could briefly comment in laymen's terms how a suture can stay inside the body for life and not break down or cause any problems? Is it a simple case of the suture being engineered for such conditions? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    • @citizensurgeon
      @citizensurgeon  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great question…
      The permanent sutures such as prolene, ethibond, dacron and silk are there forever. They do not undergo hydrolysis nor enzymatic degradation. Most are inert and non reactive though silk can react with the body and cause suture granulomas. So yes, the suture is engineered this way. Having permanent suture is important in some cases like cardiac surgery if we want to maintain tissue architecture.

    • @naturevideos.8802
      @naturevideos.8802 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for a really informative response. That makes sense. It's not always easy to get a clear explanation from a surgeon, so your comments are very much appreciated. I had tendons repaired about a year ago, and the sutures are made of permanent polyethylene material. This seems common practice in tendon orthopaedic repairs. Just needed to be able to understand the science behind it. Thank you once again.

    Is it fair to say that, from a purely cosmetic point of view, skin-closures are best made with non-absorbable sutures and then the sutures removed at a time indicated by on monitoring of the wound?

    I learned a lot , that was awesome , quick question do I need to close the subcutaneous fat ? A professor told me to use cat gut

    • @citizensurgeon
      @citizensurgeon  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for engaging, you can certainly closer the adipose layer of the abdominal wall to decrease dead space and this suture line can be placed in scarpa’s layer. I think catgut has such a short half-life that it may not provide sufficient strength. I personally use a 3-0 victuals for this layer in adults, sometimes as a running continuous layer and other times as interrupted sutures. Hope that is clear.

    What is the longest lasting suture for pelvic prolapse surgery? My surgery failed at 4 weeks. I was making a cup of coffee that morning and felt a sudden sharp pain down there and a few hours later saw sutures on my underwear. Several weeks later I found that one of the repaired prolapses was back. I don't want this to happen again if have repairs again. Please help.

    • @citizensurgeon
      @citizensurgeon  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I am sorry you experienced that, I understand currently there are two techniques, one is with a permanent suture like ethibond or silk and the other is with a tacker…however it may not be just the suture type, it may have to do with the pelvic floor anatomy, certainly chat with your surgeon. Good luck!
