[@RetroFett]

I laughed at that part! She's great, but we do use both methods for suture closure , hand tying and instrument tying, all the time in General Surgery. Depends on the procedure, and the incision, and how much length of suture is left.

[@shells500tutubo]

The instrument tie is most certainly nice and much more civilized than a hand tie. And in delicate procedures like nerve and vessel repair it is the ONLY way you can tie. We're talking 6-0 to 10-0 sutures that you can barely see without a microscope. Your eye, plastic surgeons and ear, nose throat doctors will certainly disagree with her on this. All the rest on the knots is good.

[@honeyyb]

@@shells500tutubo in the video she suggests that she ties 10-0 with her hands. Is that really possible?

[@chaseaphrodite3398]

Britt Yes! It requires an absurd amount of practice in addition to leaving plenty of room for mistakes, however. One of my teachers agrees with her and even says that instrument knots give you less control over the suture

She’s so funny and amazing please bring her back!!

[@florencelow7363]

Love how professional yet funny and attentive Annie is. I wished when I was in med school, my consultants were as great at teaching as she is. But I can't help but wants to clarifying several things 1. Surgeons do put their thumb inside the hole but to unclick the needle drive, it is easier to do it Annie's way 2. The grip on the needle driver should be using thumb and ring finger. It will be easier to control the instrument that way 3. Instrument knot is widely used even among surgeons and doing it right will give the same tight knot as tying with hand but yes I must admit it is quite uncivilised and some surgeon look down upon those who use it. I use it interchangeably according to situation. Hand tying is faster and more useful during open surgery where you need speed and precision. When suturing superficial wound with interrupted suture, doctor tends to used instrument so they don't waste a lot of the suture But overall, I enjoyed this video, maybe Annie should run he own youtube channel about trivia surgery story or how to do simple medical stuff

16:16 "It is easier but it is not civilised." I never expected to be called out like that in a video about surgery.

Me too

[@FaeTigre]

I felt personally attacked ;(

[@MrFunguspower]

Well, be a better person. It's not nearly as hard as you think ^^

[@gclowne174]

But why though? Seriously. Its effective, it works, it saves cost since you wont be billing the patient for another set of needle for just a couple of more points, saves resources in case the hospital (taxpayer) is footing the bill. So why is it considered uncivilised.

*I literally have this video saved on my desktop. No particular reason, just a skill that might come in handy, and a keen but stern teacher* I would love to see more "teaching a skill you might need" videos like this...
