Cystectomy

Fig. 26.1

The “rescue stitch” is a 6 in. long 2–0 vicryl suture on a CT-1 needle with a Hem-o-lok clip tied into the end of the suture. The CT-1 needle is readily visible in a pool of blood where a smaller needle such as an RB-1 or an SH needle might not be visible. The Hem-o-lok clip at the end of the suture will serve to tamponade a bleeding point in the vessel and help decrease the hemorrhage, thereby allowing definitive repair to be performed
