Sažetak
Background: The crucial elements for optimal suturing result are good tissue approximation, handling the problem of tension and security of knots. We propose a use of secure locking knot, which could allow optimal suturing result. The proposed initial secure locking knot is kept in first position without danger of slipping, before finishing it by additional knot of two loops. Methods: Sharing of experience. Result: The secure locking knot is not bulky, it has strength and it is easy to master. The completed knot may fail by breaking, but never by slippage. Conclusion: The proposed secure locking knot allows optimal tissue approximation and it could have application in ophthalmology.
