Halsted suturing technique

The Halsted suturing technique is a method surgeons use to close wounds with stitches. It involves placing small, evenly spaced stitches in a pattern that ensures the edges of the wound are brought together neatly, helping it heal properly. The technique emphasizes precise needle placement and careful tension to minimize tissue trauma and reduce scarring. Typically, it uses simple interrupted stitches, where each stitch is tied off separately. This approach provides secure closure, allows for adjustments if needed, and promotes optimal healing by maintaining good blood flow to the area.
