Have you ever wondered how surgeons make suturing look effortless? This is a guide to that elusive technique that when used at the right moments separates the amateur from the experienced. This is how surgeons use the palming technique when suturing human tissue.

Thank you so much for showing lefty palming. As a lefty I have been struggling to suture left handed with right handed tools. At this point I am seriously considering learning to suture with my non-dominant hand.

Great video Dr. Sai. You definitely need more subs. It would've been a bit better if the video was rotated 180 degrees to match the viewers perspective. Nevertheless thank you for this. Subbed. : )

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Will be sure to add it on into my next tutorials. Sorry I haven’t put out much more! Once work schedule settles down will hopefully make it work your while.

scalp lacerations?

[@DocSai-vn2rh]

Hey Elliot :) thanks for the comment. Does depend on resources and if staples are available or not. But i find if you do suture the scalp, your driving force is better than the traditional hold. Often helps prevent the needle from bending or changing its angle. I find it really usefull for scalp incisions eg. Post insertion of EVD drains. Also find its easier to do figure 8 stitching to stop a bleeder while palming rather than traditional hold because you have more pronation:). Any thoughts?
