Seam Manual

A manual seam is a seam that is applied manually, without the use of a stapler.

Hand suture is still widely used in surgery. It allows you to connect fabrics with high precision and reliability. Surgeons use different types of hand sutures depending on the type of tissue and the desired effect.

Advantages of hand stitching:

1. Accuracy. A hand suture makes it possible to accurately match the edges of the wound.

2. Flexibility. With a hand suture, the surgeon can change the direction, depth and tension of the stitches.

3. Atraumatic. Hand stitching minimizes tissue damage.

4. Aesthetics. Hand stitches can provide optimal cosmetic results.

5. Availability. Hand stitching does not require expensive equipment.

Disadvantages of hand stitching:

1. Duration. Hand stitching takes longer than mechanized stitching.

2. Risk of infection. Increases due to more tissue punctures.

3. Surgeon skill. The quality of a hand suture is highly dependent on the skill and experience of the surgeon.

Thus, despite the advent of new technologies, hand suture is still indispensable for solving many surgical problems. Skillful use of its various types allows you to achieve optimal treatment results.

In medical practice, a suture is a surgical term that denotes a wound with materials applied to its edges in order to avoid tissue splitting in the postoperative period (so that the edges of the wound do not diverge and heal faster). Surgical sutures can be made manually or using stitching devices (ligature, catgut, nylon, silk, lavsan).
