Vascular ligation with silk suture 🩸🪡
One of the most essential lifesaving surgical skills in the operating room.
Identify the vessel ➝ carefully isolate it ➝ pass the silk ➝ secure the knot with proper tension to achieve hemostasis. Precision matters, because one small mistake can mean uncontrolled bleeding. ⚠️
Simple skill… but it carries huge responsibility in surgery. 👨⚕️🔬
