Episode description
"What suture would you like to close with, Doctor?" asked the scrub nurse. "Errrr....Dunno, what do they normally use?" replied the surgical trainee who hadn't taken a few minutes to watch this week's podcast from Lee Creedon, all about sutures.
In this podcast, mapped to ISCP and basic surgical skills course objectives, Lee takes you though different kinds of sutures, needles, nomenclature and the indications for using each particular type of suture. So, when the scrub nurse asks you which suture you want you will be able to make the correct choice with confidence.
Essential viewing for all medical students interested in surgery and all trainees at the start of a surgical career.
Lee Creedon is a Clinical Research Fellow in General Surgery at the University of Leicester.
