BBASS continues needle control and alignment by applying the principles described in parts 1 and 2 to three dimensions. We demonstrate how to control the needle, angles and vectors as well as how to stitch without getting in a tangle. At the end of the session, you will be able to confidently organise yourself to stitch two lumens together even if they are of different sizes. We re-emphasise the rotation of the needle, the 1-2-3 pick up and need for adjustment according to the wrist and elbow displacement but at all times maintain the ninety-degree principles of point and place.

Summary

This teaching session, "Alignment in 3D," will enhance healthcare professionals' understanding of three-dimensional alignment in the setting of complex surgical anastomoses. The session will explore orientation and alignment using innovative low fidelity models, engaging in hands-on activities. This session will prove valuable for those looking to elevate their skills in surgical stitching, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Don't miss out on this chance to learn how to 'home' your skills.

Learning objectives

Understand the concept of 3D alignment and its application in the anastomosis.
Develop skills to organise and orientate stitching and apply basic techniques.
Identify the roles and benefits of 3D alignment in surgical planning and patient care.
Demonstrate the ability to visualise 3D alignment trick using low fidelity models.
