Spring/French/Split eye needle

Explanation:
Creo que te refieres a este tipo de agujas. Las agujas viudas parecen ser aquellas denominada "ojo abierto", "traumáticas" o "francesas". Y van sin hilo. Te recomiendo fijarte en las imágenes de cada una y comparar. Te dejo algunas referencias que te pueden servir.

eyed needle

Explanation:
"eyed needle : aguja provista de orificio ( aguja > )"

Terminología inglés-español para la práctica médica - Page 223 by Claudio J. Puente
https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Terminología_inglés_e...

"Three types of eye are commonly used in surgery: swaged, controlled release or "pop-off," and open...the open-eyed needle is fashioned similar to a sewing needle, and suture must be threaded through the eye before use. Open-eyed needles offer the ability to pair a great variety of suture types and needles. Disadvantages include the time needed to thread the eye and its easy unthreading during suturing. Open-eyed needles are rarely used in obstetric surgery."

Sorry, the first quote should read"eyed needle : aguja provista de orificio ( aguja > )"

Don't know how I managed to lose some of it!

OK, it's lost it again!

The quote should read "eyed needle : aguja provista de orificio ( «aguja» )

OK, this is getting silly. I can't see why the text is disappearing. I'll write it without the quotation marks

"The trans-vaginal mesh (TVM) technique provides excellent repair of pelvic organprolapse(POP)... Transobturator “outside in” passage of the eyed needle at anteromedial edge of the obturator foramen was tried, but unsuccessful because of diastased symphsis pubis.Therefore, passage of the eyed needle 5 mm medial from the pubic decending limb was made into the paravesical region(Fig.2). Next, passage of the eyed needle at posteromedial edge of the obturator foramen was made towards the 1 cm in front of the ischial spine. These needles carried the threads to secure the anterior arms of the anterior part of the mesh placed at the vesicovaginal dissection space.Cutaneous incision was made 3cm lateral and 3cm down from the anus, and final passage of the eyed needle was made through the sacrosciatic ligaments towards the ischial spine.

Liz - you have to be logged into the Academia website in order to see the whole paper on the TVM technique otherwise you can only see a small snippet that doesn't contain the quote I referred to.

philgoddard: But you say eyed is 'provista de orificio'. And doesn't your second reference imply that all suturing needles have eyes, albeit not necessarily of the type we associate with sewing needles?

-> Yes, I've somehow missed out the important bit of the quote. I have updated it now. It should read "eyed needle : aguja provista de orificio ( aguja << viuda » )"

agree

A second suture is then placed in a similar fashion 1 cm proximal to the last suture. After this is done, the closure of the enterocele sac is accomplished. A No. 1 polypropylene purse-string suture is pre-placed circumferentially to close the peritoneal cavity and eliminate the enterocele sac. After the peritoneal packs are removed and the purse-string suture cinched down, a dye (e.g. fluorescein) is administered intravenously and cystoscopy is carried out to confirm ureteral patency.
The two preplaced levator sutures are tied sequentially across the midline. These two levator sutures (proximal and distal) are then tagged with a hemostat. The end of each suture is threaded on a No. 6 curved Mayo needle and then transfixed at the new restored site of the vaginal apex from inside out, approximately 1 cm apart from each other. The proximal and distal ends of each levator sutures are then tied to each other bringing the vaginal vault down over the rebuilt levator plate just underneath the mucosa with direct tissue apposition.
