Suture Techniques Course Video

[@Rotzfresh89]

When I sutured my first tummy tuck I used the technique from this video. The other residents were impressed and asked me where I have learned it. Thanks to Dr. Zenn I was able to do it at first try. I am grateful for this video. Much appreciated.

[@rhauckenrol8962]

Good ol KZbin doctor 😆

[@c47hy]

A few years ago I had a suture course in my college. Right now I don't remember much from it but thanks to your clear explanations and step-by-step instructions I feel like I remember most of it now. Thank you!

[@the_space_parakeet4467]

Wow, an aerospace engineer? That’s awesome! I’m just an 8th grader who wants to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. I’m practicing my sutures on a banana peel because I read that is a good substitute for the silicone “skin” stuff. And I can’t afford one of those fancy suture kits. 😅

[@parabellumsports]

Fascinating-- the first time I've seen it demonstrated WITH an explanation. This is exactly what I needed to really understand the process.

[@moshadosha1562]

great movie thanks

[@JessicaSmith-jk5rp]

22 min, great demo, explanation, and reasoning for the suture. I’m only an LPN at the moment, and I’m continuing into the healthcare field. This video is perfect for anyone.. even for life saving measures in day to day life! I’m always thinking worse case scenario 😂, but so grateful for this!

[@MZ-rv1bu]

Exactly, well said.

[@randyc750]

I just spent a half hour watching this. Well worth it.

[@jackgleason9870]

Best to learn this with diligent practice. Betadine, subcue bleeding, respiration, pulsation, etc. can obscure & move your field of view and make this more difficult. Pay attention to your needle exit points (they are predictable). Dr. Venn (sp.) is obviously a real expert. This is a wonderful lesson.

[@richardturner6981]

Hello, Doctor. Excellent video. I'm not a doctor or a medical student , i'm just interested in medical procedures and things related to surgery and medicine. Many years ago i was studying to be a clinical laboratory technician and i learned how to actually draw a blood sample on other students. I excelled in X-Ray, and there were occasions when the instructor had to go on an errand and i had to help the other students set up the X-Ray machine and help them develop the X-Ray film. The Hematology instructor was elderly and she used to come up in back of the students hollering all kinds of things which made me very nervous, so i finally had to quit school, she made me too nervous. I should have gone to another school and studied to be an X-Ray technician. I would have been good at that. Why i didn't, i don't know. Best of luck to you, and please keep making videos.

Putting an emergency med kit for extended time in wilderness. Very useful for me for a possible wound (hope not!) doctors are usually not there. Thank you sir!

[@LA_Viking]

Precisely. I learned to suture almost 50 years ago...a very important skill for my mountaineering, sailing, and other expeditions. Although I feel like suturing is overused in wilderness settings, when you need to do it you really need to do it!

[@MrApiiinr]

Some people are missing the point of this video and nitpicking details to death. If you want a medical education, go to medical school, or spend a few hundred hours in an OR. Thanks to the author of the video for posting this demonstration of different suturing techniques.

[@lucyjane7375]

I agree, but, you do realize you're on KZbin right? Anyone can watch and comment. My 9 year old has probably watched this video. Beautiful technique though right? Mesmerizing.

[@illinidmd]

As a dentist, I throw a lot of sutures after tooth extraction or implant placement. These techniques will sharpen my skills

[@donkeywhistler]

weird

[@selflove1999]

Thank you so much sir I thoroughly observed your demonstration completely till the end of your video it is just mind blowing and it is very useful to improve my skills I'm a medical student .so nice really no words you made it really easier to pickup

[@kimlightfoot]

As a seamstress, I knew all of these stitches, but the stapler method is something I tried once ina pinch at work where my skirts fabric began tearing away from the seams, along side the seams, and as I was at work, it began to become a very big big problem as one can only imagine. LOL. Staples and fabric are not compatible lol. Glad skin and staples are though. The only difference in sewing skin, vs fabrics, is the knots, in sewing we do not use knots as much as possible. And prefer to use the smallest possible knots. But the best closures on fabric have zero knots, which we accomplish via doing the basic straight stitch and sewing over our starting position three to four times. And finishing the same way. A continuous running stitch is only used when basting as it is the weakest stitch, and often will deform the fabric, if put under too much stress. A running backstitch however, is very strong, and is used often when hand sewing a busy seam, as it will not come undone easily, can be put under fairly strong tension, and if it does come undone, you can easily patch the seam by starting about an inch away from the broken stitches, and finishing about an inch away as well. It is good to know, if in an emergency, my sewing skills could potentially help a person, by emergency, I am talking middle of nowhere with no hospitals, medics, or other access to medical attention. But in such a case. I would probably not bring sutures, but instead skin glue and bandages instead lol. As I doubt it very much a person who required emergency medical, would appreciate a novice sewing their skin together without pain killing helps. lol.

Why didn't we have this when I was in medical school? I had to practice on chicken skin.

[@iamanidiotbut9616]

Congratulations on your accomplishments!!! I aspire to be a doctor, and I respect and admire you guys a lottttttttt!! Love and congratulations from Jamaica

[@alexandrevaliquette1941]

I would guess that this kit is more expensive than chicken (free practice before each meal). With chicken or pork or lamb, you can practice more realistic stitching on real anatomic tissue. The great value of the kit is that it is not dirty, so you can practice anywhere anytime... But it came at a price...

[@echalotto283]

I'm currently in med school and even though we have that kind of artificial skins, we practiced on pig feet as well ...

[@justanotherguy9034]

😂😂😂 oh my god !! hahaha

[@syedbukhari2765]

Outstanding training. Very pleased to see your videos

[@pedromunozdones7869]

Greetings. Awesome video. However, would you consider employing a darker, perhaps black colored surgical thread? It iwill be more vissible in the video. Also, have the camera angled from behind rather than the front.

I'm only watching this after binge watching 15 seasons of Grey's Anatomy. But this video is very informative and clear instructions and visuals

It is very important the way the needle is driven because this will dictate the cosmetic result of the sutured wound.

[@michaelmckinney2064]

Great video. I would like to suggest that you tell people they have to start with a clean incision first or to clean the site up first before suturing? Thanks so much for sharing.

[@lucyjane7375]

This plastic surgeon (there's the hint) is so smooth, it's hard to even see what he's doing. Beautiful technique. Lovely to watch. Unfortunately, I'm better off watching a clumsy (hungover) ER resident hack his/her way through a set of simple interrupted stitches with huge suture material ( 3.0 gut) and dull scissors that you can hear scraping from the break room. I will be watching this repeatedly and wishing things.

The VATA kits are over $200.00 from VATA, however, knockoff are on Ebay for as little as $20.00 ;-)

[@vatainc]

Hi Measl, yes there are suture kits available from various companies with a wide range in pricing. What I would keep in mind is that what is included in each kit as well as the quality of the components varies greatly. Every person who has used our suture kit has said the quality is far superior to any other kit they have used and we have had many schools switch from the lower cost kits to our "more expensive" kit as the realism is worth the cost. They have also found they get more use out of each pad as the sutures do not tear the skin and each incision can be used many times.

Now, I enjoy back woods canoe camping, off in the middle of no where with a bunch of other guys. So I picked up a suture kit (minor surgery kit) and went on line to look up suturing techniques. Well what do you know, simple suture, running stitch, Mattress stitch, figure 8, I already know most of these! And those kids laughed, who's laughing now bitches! LOL Honestly, thanks for the other stitching techniques I didn't know, I will pick up a practice pad and try them out, thanks for the info!
