Re: Catgut (was: Tying vicryl)From: Griffiths Malcolm (Malcolm.Griffiths@ldh-tr.anglox.nhs.uk)Thu Apr 12 02:26:13 2001
I am aware that many advise a double first throw. I don't usually bother. Occasionally I do, where it is a very think pedicle or I really want to "control" it with the first throw. I was always taught that vicryl allows you to tighten the first throw when pulling on the second throw. Not sure I believe it! BTW - over here we are in the process of catgut being withdrawn from use (anyone wants the info go to http://www.medical-devices.gov.uk/catgutsutures.htm <http://www.medical-devices.gov.uk/catgutsutures.htm> ). Do you all still have catgut? If not when and how/why was it withdrawn? -----Original Message----- From: RModugno@aol.com [mailto:RModugno@aol.com] Sent: 12 April 2001 04:55 To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Tying vicryl This subject may seem quite basic - but it's the basic stuff that sometimes yields the most lively discussion. I was taught to tie vicryl or dexon with the first throw as a double throw or surgical knot, or else it would slip. In my travels through different operations assisting different gyns & general surgeons, I have noticed that some tie this suture like they would be tying catgut - single throw , first throw. So cybergyns, which is the "correct" way?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
