Method for suture lacing

摘要

A method for suture lacing includes providing a suture with a needle attached thereto, inserting the needle and suture into an organ through a passageway, throwing a single stitch through a first tissue member, throwing a single stitch through an opposed and spaced apart second tissue member, repeating the preceding step at least once, bringing the first and second tissue members in contact by tensioning the suture, whereby suture drag is minimized during the tensioning and even tissue compression substantially achieved, and securing the suture.

1. A method for suture lacing, comprising:
a. providing a suture with a needle attached thereto; b. inserting the needle and suture into an organ through a passageway; c. throwing a single stitch through a first tissue member in a proximal to distal direction, throwing a single stitch through an opposed and spaced apart second tissue member in a proximal to distal direction; d. repeating step (c) at least once; e. throwing a final suture throw in either the first tissue member or the second tissue member and reversing the direction of the final suture throw, the step of reversing includes positioning a reversing pin between the suture and either the first tissue member or the second tissue member; f. bringing the first and second tissue members in contact by tensioning the suture, whereby suture drag is minimized during the tensioning and even tissue compression substantially achieved; and g. securing the suture.
