In probably the most important series of 4 podcasts for any budding surgeon to watch, Ben Baker and Jill Arrowsmith take you though how to suture, from handling instruments, through simple interrupted and mattress sutures, running sutures and finally, how to perform a z-plasty.
Performed on a cadaveric specimen, these video podcasts are high fidelity and essential viewing for all medical students wanting to follow a career in surgery. They will also be useful to all foundation doctors (interns) and core trainees (residents).
Made by plastic surgeons, these videos help you to get into good suturing habits from the start, rather than develop or pick up bad habits as you go along. Suture as in these videos and you'll have good technique and nice wounds for the rest of your career.
Jill Arrowsmith is a consultant in plastic and hand surgery at the world famous Pulvertaft Hand Centre at the Royal Derby Hospital, UK and Ben Baker is a trainee in plastic surgery.
