How to modify stent strings in less than a minute so they are not inadvertently tugged on. I borrowed this technique from Dr. Lingeman and haven’t had a patient accidentally remove their stent since. No need for trying to tape the strings out of the way… just cut to... length IU Endourologyshow more

Also fan of this technique- just don’t tape it to leg or it recreates a “loop”

We also published it! @kdoersch689 @glukemachen 😀

Yes! I always do that too now. Same fellowship 😂. Sometimes PACU call me because they “can’t find the strings” but they’re invariably there still.

Learned the same technique from Dr. El Tayeb @marawaneltayeb. It is much less bothering to the patient.

@marawaneltayeb I suspect he also picked it up from Lingeman during his time at IU or maybe he was the originator? Either way it's a fantastic touch!

Im sorry but couldnt see clearly. Did you make one limb long by opening the loop and knotting it to form a very small loop near the stent end?

Yep! Nothing fancy but if seems to do the trick

Wht’s the type of the thread?

8 knots for Kobe’s first number 💜💛
