Description:

Ability to design, raise and close a tension free flap with appropriate suture materials and techniques plays an important role in the treatment outcome and healing process. Flaps are not always planned, sometimes they are needed unexpectedly to provide access and visibility.  A good understanding of biological principles helps in achieving more predictable clinical outcomes. In this presentation, in the hands-on-component, we practice suturing techniques with different suture materials and the errors that might occur.  

Course Objectives:

• To review the principles in choosing appropriate suture materials, needle types and sizes.
• To review the principles of flap design and their biological rational.
• To practice suturing techniques with different suture materials.
