Surgeons are often stitching tube like structures together including intestines and vessels. These are either end to end, or side to side. For vessels, the stitch is from inside out and for intestines, it is outside in. In addition, it is important that the surgeon stitches towards themselves to avoid tripping over the suture. It is important to adhere to these rules together when faced with an anastomosis - it does take some thought and organisation to avoid getting in a tangle. BBASS offers help to navigate stitching especially when you go round and round!
