Hello,
I am starting my surgery rotation next week and am pretty sure I want to go into some type of surgery. I'd like to make a good impression so I was planning on learning basic knot tying before it starts. At this point all I know is how to do an instrument tie. I got an ethicon knot tying board and booklet and there are a bunch of different knots in here. I was wondering which one's would be good to know as a medical student?
Also, is there a good surface to practice suturing on? I have been using a sponge but it's not so great.
I am also open to any other tips for excelling on this rotation !
Thanks in advance,
