|
Absorbable Suture |
dissolved by the body's tissue, not removed, leave more pronounce scars when used in skin |
|
|
Non-Absorbable Suture |
Stay inplace until they are removed, less, reactive and scrrig, preferred when used in skin |
|
|
Cutting needle |
Has a sharp tip with sharp edges, used primarily in the skin |
|
|
Round needles |
Have a sharp tip with smooth edges, used in deeper subcutaneous tissues and blood vessels |
|
|
Simple Interrupted |
Placed by introducing the needle perpendicular to the epidermis, traversing up to the full thickness of dermis and exiting perpendicular on the opposite side |
|
|
Simple Interrupted |
The suture is cut between each individual stitch measiuring 0,5-1,0 cm spacing |
|
|
Vertical Mattress |
Composed of a simple interrupted stitch placed wide and deep and 2nd more superficial interrupted stitch placed closer to the wound |
|
|
Horizontal Mattress |
Suture is passed deep in the dermis to the opposite side and exits the skin equidistant from the wound edge |
|
|
Horizontal Mattress |
technique used to better approximate the wound edges |
|
|
Continuous Suture |
faster but may fail if the suture is cut in just one place, not s strong as interrupted, can strangulate blood supply |
|
|
Skin Flaps |
Piece of tissue with a blood supply used for covering an open wound |
|
|
Subcuticular Suture |
involves placement of stitches in the subcuticular tissues parallel with the line of wound |
|
|
Axial Pattern Flaps |
Supplied by specific blood vessels, can be completely removed from its surrounding tissue a slong as it is connected to its supplying vessels |
|
|
Random Pattern Flaps |
Do not have a specific blood supply a san axial pattern flap |
|
|
Random Pattern Flap |
Their vascular suppy is from the subdermal plexus ofblood vessels |
|
|
Random Pattern Flap |
Easy to do which makes them useful almost anywhere in the body |
|
|
Z plasty |
reorients the scar so it can be better-looking because it has less contraction, tension, & pressure |
|
|
Z plasty |
for optical illusion |
|
|
Flap Delay |
Procedure done to increase the vascularity and survival of the distal random poriton of a flap |
|
|
Flap Delay |
Partial disruption of the subdermal plexus of blood supply while maintaining the vascular pedicle is done |
|
|
Mucocutaneous Flap |
Skin with underlying muscle ca be transferred to the recipient site |
|
|
Mucocutaneous Flap |
Blood supply from the muscles to the overlying skin via the perforators account for the vascularity of this flap |
|
|
Pectoralis MC flap |
Most commonly used MC flap in head and neck surgery |
|
|
Pectoralis MC flap |
Commonly used in reconstruction of the oral cavity and oropharynx |
|
|
Latissimus Dorsi MC flap |
still remains the most generally dependable and reconstructive surgery |
|
|
Latissimus Dorsi MC flap |
It's considerable length may be used for surface recostruction |
|
|
Latissimus Dorsi MC flap |
May also be used in oral cavity and esophageal reconstruction |
|
|
Free Flaps |
Vasuclarity of the flap is amintained by microvascular anastomosis of the artery and vein |
|
|
Free Flap |
The fap can be harvested and customized to the defect in terms of absolute size and relative amounts of bone, muscle, skin and nerve needed |
