Left-handed surgical trainees are uniquely challenged when learning how to suture using standard needle drivers designed for right-handed individuals and often feel disadvantaged in comparison to their right-handed peers. "Palming," a suturing technique that improves suturing mechanics and efficiency, cannot be achieved in the standard manner using the left hand. This paper proposes a previously undescribed technique for palming using the left hand that provides many of the same benefits as standard palming methods using the right hand, potentially reducing a common source of inequity in surgical training.
对于左撇子外科实习生来说，在学习如何使用为右撇子设计的标准持针器进行缝合时面临着独特的挑战，与右撇子同行相比，他们常常觉得自己处于劣势。“握掌法”是一种能改善缝合力学和效率的缝合技术，用左手无法以标准方式实现。本文提出了一种此前未被描述的左手握掌法技术，它能带来与右手标准握掌法许多相同的益处，有可能减少外科培训中一个常见的不平等根源。
