This image Is crucial to understand corner tying princoiplrs.The previously placed corner stitch (A and B) is now tied seven square knots. One of these (in this case thread B) is then tied to the just finished back wall running thread C, also seven square knots. Suture A is next use to run the front wall. (if the assistant is doing this in a forehand fashion, the thread A goes outside in on the vessel closest to the surgeon, in this case the radial artery (Figure. N. 12). The proximal corner stitch can be run to meet the distal suture and tied mid-way.
