In parts of the world where catgut sutures (such as chromic) are prohibited due to the risk of prion disease, what do people use when they want a fast-absorbing suture that does not have to be cut out? (need to know for a future 🧵).

🧵regarding the 'rapidly absorbable' sutures, which are used less often than other suture types, but fill specific roles in a number of different surgical specialties. We'll go over the uses of (and differences between) Chromic, plain gut, 'fast' gut, and Vicryl Rapide. (1/)

Now there are more rules today about mistreating others, so sometimes people will instead direct the negative energy toward mistreating themselves. This often comes in the form of trying to amass more and more cases, or in picking up ‘leadership’ roles that one isn’t suited for.

An older drawing showing why grabbing 'extra' fat and muscle when closing the fascia can lead to separation of the fascia later on. On the next slide, we'll use simple geometry to understand why suture 'A' is not as good as suture 'B'. 🧵(1/3)
