How many methods are there for surgical suture?

There are many suture methods, but there is no unified classification method at present.

According to the anastomosis of tissues, it can be divided into three types: simple suture, eversion suture and eversion suture. Each type is divided into two types according to whether the sewing is continuous or not: intermittent sewing and continuous sewing. According to the position relationship between suture and tissue, it can be divided into horizontal suture and vertical suture; Sometimes the above situations are combined and named. According to the shape of the seam, it can be divided into purse-string seam, semi-purse-string seam, U-shaped seam, 8-shaped seam, T-shaped seam and Y-shaped seam.
