Definition

Ligation suture loops are commonly used for hemostasis of an isolated vessel, vascular pedicle, or other structure and have the potential to fail via suture slippage or suture breaking.

Risk factors

 Suture material

 Suture size

 Inappropriate ligation knotting

 Inappropriate ligation placement

 Tissue bulk

Pathogenesis

Suture material, ligation technique, number of ligatures, and manipulation of the vessel or pedicle are all factors that should be considered when performing a ligation [26]. Ligation knot slippage or breakage is a significant contributor to ligation failure and occurrence is likely underestimated [27].
