title: New one handed ties including the surgeon's knot.
abstract: These new techniques will be of some help in the hands of skilled surgeons in moments when only one hand is available for tying a knot, in relatively inaccessible areas, or in order to hasten the time involved in tying in order to leave more time for the operation itself. With practice, this technique will become as natural as any other method of tying, offering one more alternative of placing the knots, contributing to the versatility of the surgeon.
