I´m about to start my residency in surgery and oh boy all these videos are very helpful, Dr. Erik your channel is a gold mine!! Thank you, keep doing this
Thank you so much for your support, if their topics on your mind, let me know and I can put a video together. Check out the surgical intern Boot Camp playlist and let me know what’s missing. Thanks again!
You demonstrate this so well that I think I even I could learn the skill of doing it. But I cannot even imagine doing it on a person! Question - do you always do the first suture in the middle of the wound and then work to the ends?
That’s a great question, usually not as the center is the highest point of tension if indeed the wound is under attention. One strategy that many people use is halving the wound, this is common in small bowel anastomoses where a bite is taken in the center and then in the halves of what’s left and then again and then again until it is completely closed.
@@citizensurgeon Thanks! Another question if that is ok. How do you graduate from a practice pad or a banana to doing it on human skin? Do you practice on a cadaver ? And was it scary the first time you sutured on a patient?

Very helpful video!
Awesome super pumped you enjoyed it!
Hi doc, where to buy ethicon pad?
You can the suturing pad pretty cheap on Amazon, I put a link in the description. I also found a knot tying board that was inexpensive on there.
