Welcome to the channel that will discuss about anything in general surgery. 

Thank you for joining us (again) this week!.
We are going to the talk about the long-waited topic for sutures: the classification of the sutures!
We are using sutures day in and day out. There are also behemoth amount of sutures that you can find in any operating theatre. 
How do we classify them accordingly? So that we could choose the features that we need in a suture for a particular task. 
Therefore let us dive into the topic! 
 
A series of videos will be released regularly on weekends. Hope you all enjoy it. The videos are for discussions only, and not for any medical usages. This is NOT a medical advice. 

We would llke to thank SheziiLope (@shenziilope3966) for designing a logo for Surgery Khalsom!!
Big shout-out to the local Ethicon company for providing us the samples of suture for these series by goodwill and conscience! No honorarium was given, and no strings attached.
