Lembert suture

Lembert suture
a type of inverting suture commonly used in gastrointestinal surgery. The needle is inserted a short distance away from the incision, brought through the serous and muscular coats but not the submucosa, and brought out near the edge of the incision; then it is inserted near the edge on the opposite side and brought out at a more distant point without entering the lumen of the intestine. These sutures may be either interrupted or continuous. See Plate 41.
