BBASS has noted that very few people stop and check that they have picked up the needle correctly. BBASS believes that the correct pick up of the needle can be appreciated by an understanding of the anatomy of the needle, the function of the needle driver and your posture. Addressing the pick up of the needle each and every time you about to take a stitch will improve and accuracy and efficacy of the needle rotation and thus reduce tissue damage. The geometry of the needle and the pivot of the movements of the needle holder are explained. The expert surgeon can then learn to get the needle to 'dance'.

Summary

This engaging teaching session, "One, Two, Three - Check," is essential for medical professionals who wish to enhance their suturing skills and tissue handling. Attendees will learn systematic approaches to correct needle handling and crucial insights on improving needle rotation. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding on how to 'home' their skills and gain a deeper understanding of how to suture efficiently. This is a vital opportunity to further enhance expertise in surgery. Don't miss this chance to take your surgical skills to the next level!

Learning objectives
