A collaborative two-day- surgical suturing workshop, organized by Michail Koutentakis as an LP coordinator of SCOME, IFMSA. AMSA and EDSG (English Division Student Government) were a part of the surgical workshop. The workshop gathered 28 participants. AMSA and IFMSA provided pork feet and the rest of the equipment (tools and about 70 sutures were given) for the participants. The workshop involved different types of sutures and surgical knots, including, but not limited to, simple interrupted sutures, vertical and horizontal mattress, continuous sutures, subcutaneous, buried sutures, interlocking, and others. Surgical knots contained two types, one-handed and two-handed. The workshop started on May 20th, 2023 at 10 a.m. and finished the same day at 13:30. It continued the next day, May 21st, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. and completely ended at 14:00 that day. It lasted approximately 3.5 to 4 hours (8 hours in total for both days). A surgeon was invited to help Michail with the workshop. A presentation containing every possible suture and knot was presented and later given to the participants.

The surgical suturing workshop took place in room 122 of the library building (CBI) on the 1st floor.
