Situational seam (syn. Sh. guide):
A situational suture is a surgical suture that is used to connect tissue in the event of damage or injury. It is a special suture that allows you to restore the integrity of damaged tissues and prevent the development of complications.
When using a situational suture, the surgeon must take into account many factors, such as the size and location of the wound, the condition of the tissue, the presence of infection, etc. A situational suture can be performed either open or closed.
An open situational suture is performed by dissecting the tissue and placing sutures on the edges of the wound. A situational closed suture involves placing sutures on the wound without cutting it.
One of the advantages of a situational seam is its strength and reliability. It allows for good fixation of tissues and prevents their displacement. In addition, the situational suture has good biocompatibility and does not cause allergic reactions in the patient.
However, despite all the advantages, the situational seam has some disadvantages. For example, it may be more difficult to perform than other types of sutures and require a longer recovery period. Also, a situational suture can lead to the development of complications, such as wound suppuration or the development of infections.
In general, situational suture is an effective method for treating tissue damage. It provides reliable fixation and prevents the development of complications. However, before using it, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of the patient’s condition and select the most suitable treatment method.
