A New, Easy Method for Putting “U” Stitches Inside the Chest Wall Atsushi Watanabe, MD, Toshiaki Watanabe, MD, Hiroki Satoh, MD, Tohru Mawatari, MD, Hisayoshi Ohsawa, MD, Noriyuki Takahashi, MD, Tomio Abe, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 79, Issue 4, Pages 1431-1432 (April 2005) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.12.016

Fig 1 A new, easy method for putting “U” stitches inside the chest wall. (A) A 19-gauge needle was inserted into the right pleural cavity through the skin. (B) A suture was passed through the inner cavity of the needle. (C) The needle was pulled partially out until the tip was located in the muscle or subcutaneous layer. (D) The direction of the needle was changed so that the tip penetrated the chest wall in the proper position. (E) The needle was reinserted into the right pleural cavity, and the other end of the suture was passed through the inner shaft of the needle. (F) The needle was pulled out, and the end of the suture was held by endoscopic forceps in the pleural cavity. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2005 79, 1431-1432DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.12.016)
