YS knot: A new technique for a tension-controlled slip knot using a trocar
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Yoon Soon (YS) knot is a laparoscopic extracorporeal slip knot that is easy to learn and apply. Our new technique, which uses the trocar as a knot pusher, is simpler, faster, and has more tension than conventional knot methods. The YS knot will help surgeons save operative time and perform tension-controlled knot-tying during laparoscopic surgery.

Forming an intracorporeal slip-knot in laparoscopic suturing.
L aparoscopic suturing presents an important skills barrier to developing a laparoscopic surgical practice. The formation of a slip-knot greatly assists in approximating tissue that may initially be under tension or when the suture material is difficult to tie owing to memory (the property of resisting deformation). I describe here a technique that allows the surgeon to fashion an intracorporea...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has recently become a topic of interest among types of minimally invasive surgery. METHODOLOGY We developed a novel "marionette method"technique for performing SILC. Two 5 mm trocars were placed through a 1.5 cm transumbilical incision. In addition, a nylon suture with a laparoscopic sliding knot was used to tighten the fundu...
متن کاملTowards a Better Laparoscopic Knot: Using Knot Quality Scores to Evaluate Three Laparoscopic Knot-Tying Techniques
OBJECTIVE In the past, knot-tying techniques have been evaluated and compared, but there has been a scarcity of objective scoring systems in these comparison studies. Using an objective scoring system, we aimed to compare 3 types of knots: intracorporeal flat-square knots, intracorporeal slip-square knots, and extracorporeal square-knots for their Knot Quality Scores (KQS) and their rates of sl...

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are common and often seen in contact athletes, resulting from a fall on the shouldertip with adducted arm. This joint is stabilized by both static and dynamic structures including the coracoclavicular (CC)ligament. Most reconstruction techniques focus on CC ligament augmentation as the primary stabilizer of the AC joint.The best surgical technique for some ...
متن کاملThe giant knot: a new one-way self-locking secured arthroscopic slip knot.
A secure slip knot is very important in the field of arthroscopy. The new giant knot, developed by the first author, has the properties of being a one-way self-locking slip knot, which is secured without additional half hitches and can tolerate higher forces to be untied.
