Surgical suturing

Surgical suturing is a basic skill for every surgeon, and its correct execution is essential for uncomplicated tissue healing. Its regularity and elegance are a surgeon's calling card. How does the whole technique look in practice, what suturing options and tools are currently available, and how and for what purposes do we use them?

What does the term "rich diet" mean? Would you like to try out different types of diets on your own stomach? What about skipping meals altogether? Are you interested in how diet can affect cancer cells and what the latest research on cancer shows?
