Deep Tie Knot :

Sometimes, the tissues to be sutured are not on the surface and therefore, they are quite difficult to access and to perform a knot with comfortability using the previously described techniques.

 In these cases, the knot will have to be done on the surface and then slipped down to the desired position.

 1. Tissue to be sutures lies at deep. Strands to be knotted come to the surface.
