Events

Hands on Workshop training for suturing

Event Name: Hands on Workshop training for suturing
Organized By: Dept. of Radio – Diagnosis
Venue: Skill Lab
Date: 04-06-2026
Time: 2:00 P.M

Hands on Workshop for suturing for postgraduates was organized by the department of Radio-Diagnosis, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, on 04.06.2026.

The workshop was held at the Third Floor Skill lab, college block. 25 Postgraduates & 15 faculties from the department of Radiodiagnosis & Surgery participated. The session was conducted by Department of Radiodiagnosis & Department of surgery.

The session began with an introduction to the fundamental principles of surgical suturing, including the indications for wound closure, types of suture materials, and the basic surgical instruments used during the procedure. Emphasis was placed on maintaining aseptic technique, proper tissue handling, and the principles of optimal wound healing.

This was followed by a live demonstration of various suturing techniques, where participants observed the correct handling of needle holders, forceps, and scissors, along with proper needle placement, knot tying, and wound approximation. In addition, the technique of drain fixation using sutures was demonstrated, highlighting the methods of securing surgical drains to the skin, appropriate knot placement, and measures to prevent accidental drain dislodgement while ensuring patient comfort and effective postoperative drainage.
