I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I have been an emergency physician for 27 years and I have had no reason to worry about my knot tying, but I’m always impressed when a vascular surgeon comes down to the ER and ties these one-handed knots, as if They’re No big deal. So I’m just practicing 10 or 20 of these knots every day so that I can look one hundredth as impressive. Thank you for posting the video.
@@aluminiumknight4038 I dont think we ought to be measuring in terms of being ahead or not…its never too late to learn! Im a sophomore in high school learning this stuff, but I dont feel ahead of anyone at all
Amazing video, thank you! To remember which way to pull the string with the right hand after tying the knot: Karate chop: drives people away (pull right hand away) Claw hand: pulls victims towards you (pull right hand towards you)
The best knot-tying video on TH-cam! Period! Thank you for refreshing this long-forgotten skill in my dumb brain. Chop and claw makes it easier to remember, your students are lucky to have you
I learnt from this video about 9 years ago as a medical student, never used the skill and forgot. 9 years on as an EM trainee this is yet again the video that saves me. Thank you
I am not a med student yet. just a year away from entering medical college and i am so proud i learnt the one-handed surgical knot in 15 minutes of practice by this video!! Thank you!
knot tying for midwives is what led me here ( midwifery student) and I have to say, that one made more sense to me! this is a close second. Thanks for the vid!
Whenever I fail at this knot in the OR, I come back here and watch this video over and over again with the sutures in my hands, imitating what's shown here.
I'm not even kidding ive been trying to get the one-handed technique down for an hour now. First try with this video I could. I think it helps that the wound is placed vertically along the camera instead of sideways. Thank you
Thanks for this. Never bothered to learn hand ties at Med school because I knew I wasn’t going to be a surgeon but now I’m putting in a lot of lines and causing the icu nurses to roll their eyes as I very slowly suture 4 anchors in place! This will be a great help.
Thank you soooooo much for this one. I wasn’t able to get this for sooo long. I’m gonna be the coolest kid at the classes next week. Greetings from Poland! ❤️❤️❤️
Doctors telling me in the OR, in courses, other people showing in videos - it worked, but somehow I couldn‘t remember the next time. Watched your video: I can do it in my sleep. Thank you!!!
This is a very good video. The fact you focus on square knots is so important. I would suggest tying a slip knot 1st (2 karate chops) followed by 2 squares. Most surgeons I know prefer this way to control tension. Thoughts?
Have a few months till medical school starts, our curriculum starts teaching us to suture the first week so I am getting ahead of the game with your videos!
Great instructions I'm a FA in general surgery and I've always struggled with one hand. The surgeon i work for now likes for me to close fascia interrupted and for good approximation i needed some instruction one single hand this was a great tutorial. I can't say enough about it i will share with the MS 3's that come through as i wind up teaching them.
Sweet fingering of the material. Makes the fly tiers jealous, though I do use a single hand whip finish, which is easy... Great job really. Love this one handed technique !!
Quick Q: With the instrument tie, you usually do a double throw the first time to get a surgeon's knot. With a hand tie, aren't we just doing a single throw? How does that become a surgeon's knot then? TIA!
you won't make a square knot but instead a series of half hitch knots. A square knot is much stronger and less likely to pull out especially with slick monofilament line. Square knots are used in sewing, fishing, boating, at the rodeo and anywhere lines are used to tie up stuff. A double slipped version is the way shoes laces are commonly tied unless your mother like mine taught me wrong and tied two half hitches. It took me 40 years to figure out I wasn't tying my shoes laces with a square knot and that caused them to slip loose much more often. It appears when a surgeon ties a square knot, they call it a surgical knot.
Can i use only the right hand for all ties? Or i am obliged to change the hand in some ocasions? Should I learn the left hand or im gonna be good with the right hand

Kudos Doctor. You've won the hearts of many surgeons by specifically demonstrating this knot technique slowly, delicately and perfectly. Greetings! ❤️

How many square knots you need to do when suturing a person?
What if you do only the first one? The karate chop one? And do it repeatedly?
you won't make a square knot but instead a series of half hitch knots. A square knot is much stronger and less likely to pull out especially with slick monofilament line. Square knots are used in sewing, fishing, boating, at the rodeo and anywhere lines are used to tie up stuff.

@@StingRayPartsWashers oh! Thanks so much!
Can you show the Miller's knot one handed?Thanks for showing your techniques!!!
Can i use only the right hand for all ties? Or i am obliged to change the hand in some ocasions? Should I learn the left hand or im gonna be good with the right hand
excellent teaching!
thank you Dr
do we need to cross hands after tying the karate chop knot? else won't it become a granny knot?
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Thanks doctor this is really helpful
Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing
Knot bad , knot bad !
very well explained
Under what situations would you use this knot technique with one hand? Don't you have a needle driver you can use?
