This is the fourth part of the suturing series where we bring together the aforementioned principles to think how we anastomoses vessels and bowel, The anastomosis is only as good as each of the stitches that need to be properly aligned and brought together without tension or strangulation. Spacing, gearing and visualisation is important. It is also important to be organised. BBASS offer principles and insights to help you apply what you have learned to the OR.
PART 4 - 2D and 3D thinking
Description
Summary
In this innovative session tailored for medical professionals, delve into the stimulating world of 2D and 3D thinking. This interactive class aims to develop and elevate cognitive abilities, thereby improving flow of an operation and suturing strategies. Understanding these concepts is essential to the training surgeon and brings together all the principles described to date. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your surgical technique and perspective and enhance your professional skill set.
