HISTORY
The origins of surgery can be traced back many centuries. Through the ages, practitioners have used a wide range of materials and techniques for closing tissue……..
1650 BC – 2000’s AD
28Training
In the tenth century BC, the ant was held over the wound until it seized the wound edges in its
jaws. It was then decapitated and the ant's death grip kept the wound closed.
AntsAnts
29Training
Thorns
The thorn, used by African tribes to close tissue, was passed through the skin on either side of the wound.
A strip of vegetable fibre was then wound around the edge in a figure eight.
30Training
Sterilised Catgut
The tough membrane of sheep intestine was provided to the surgeon pre-sterilised and required threading
through the eye of the needle before use.
31Training
Swaged On Needles
Post World War II brought the swaged-on needle. The thread fits into the hollow end of the needle, allowing it to pass through tissue without the double loop of thread that exists with a conventional needle, reducing
tissue trauma.

Capillarity
Capillarity means the action by which the surface of a liquid where it is in contact with a solid
(as in a capillary tube) is elevated or depressed depending on the relative attraction of the molecules of the liquid for each other and for those of the solid.
This attraction of molecules means for sutures that liquid like blood or even bacteria may by elevated / transported through a suture thread.
Capillarity encourages infection causing suture sinuses and abscesses.

PGA and SterilizationAs PGA is susceptible to degradation from moisture
and gamma rays:Low humidity ethylene oxide gas sterilization procedures are used and moisture-proof packaging.
Acceleration of in vivo degradation due to gamma irradiation has been exploited to create devices where early fragmentation is desired.
This is how we create I-COL FAST where we accelerate the degradation profile of the suture, by breaking down the molecules.

TrainingTraining Manual
Hernia is a sac lined by peritoneum that protrudes through a defect in the layers of the abdominal wall.
Generally, a hernia mass is composed of a peritoneal sac, into which organs or other abdominal tissues can slip.
Most hernias occur in the abdominal cavity.
Although a hernia can develop on any part of the abdominal wall.
The areas near the natural openings in the groin areas (inguinal hernias), below the groin (femoral hernias), through the naval (umbilical hernias) through old surgical incisions (incisional hernias) are the most common.

TYPES OF HERNIA
Inguinal Hernias-
Indirect Inguinal HerniasThis occurs due to a weakness in the abdominal wall present at birth.
In men, this weakness is caused by a space that is created as the testes and spermatic cord descend by way of the inguinal canal (a / ½ inch canal)
Direct Inguinal HerniaThey are most common in men and usually later in life, most often
after 40, Direct inguinal hernias are due to an acquired wear and tear in the abdominal wall.
Training 117
Training 118
Training 119
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia is a birth defect in which abdominal organs protrude up into the chest cavity.
Femoral Hernia is the protrusion of abdominal fat or part of the intestines through the abdominal muscles into the upper thigh area.
Hiatal Hernia is the protrusion of a portion of the stomach through an opening in the diaphragm called the hiatus. Hiatal hernia is also called a hiatus hernia.
Incisional Hernia is a hernia that develops through a previous surgical incision. This can occur anywhere on the abdomen or back.
Inguinal Hernia is the protrusion of abdominal fat or part of the intestines through the abdominal muscles into the groin area (also called the inguinal canal). Inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia.
Umbilical Hernia is the protrusion of part of the intestines or abdominal lining through the abdominal wall around the belly button. It most often occurs in infants ages six months and younger.
ENDOSCOPIC HERNIA REPAIR (Minimally invasive surgery )
There are two forms of Endoscopic Hernia repairs:-
Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal (TAPP), this repair involves entry into the abdominal cavity with peritoneal incision and dissection, Hernia reduction,
Mesh placement, and Closing Peritoneum.
In Totally Extra-Peritoneal (TEP) Hernia repair the abdominal cavity is not entered. The working space is created by pre-peritoneal dissection.
Mesh is placed without peritoneal incision.

TrainingTraining Manual
Posterior Fascia
(fascia on the posterior side of the muscle sheath) where it does exist, is included in this layer.Note: Where extreme obesity or stress is encountered, surgeon will place retention sutures through all layers of the abdomen for extra security. Most often, retention sutures are put in prior to closure of the peritoneum.
Muscle Is frequently reflected rather than cut, and therefore does not require closure. If muscles have been transected they may be closed separately or together with the anterior fascia.
Fascia (anterior)
Is relied upon to re-establish postoperative abdominal wall strength. Therefore, anterior fascia closures are of extreme importance. Care must be taken in approximating the fascia to insure that there is sufficient distance from the incision line to the closure bite, otherwise the fascia may tear before it is healed from sudden stress such as a cough.
