Stick tie, suture ligature, or transfixion suture

Stick tie, suture ligature, or transfixion suture
Is a strand of suture material attached to a needle to ligate a vessel, duct, or other structure.
This technique is used on deep structures where placement of hemostat is difficult or on vessels of large diameter.
The needle is passed through the structure or adjacent tissue first to anchor the suture, then tied around the structure.
Peer comment(s):

agree Dr. Christopher Kronen : In the context here of the spermatic cords, suture ligation/suture ligature is correct. I have also occasionally seen purse-string sutures used for this term, but I don't see that this fits here.
