English term or phrase: a simple suture technique
Labral Detachment, Rim Recession and Labral Refixation

The suture is passed using a simple suture technique in a similar direction as the open technique, from the base of the labrum to the tip on the capsular side of the tissue.

Is it a simple technique? Or a technique of simple sutures? What are "simple sutures" then?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Selected answer:a suture technique that is simple
Explanation:
It's a suture technique that is simple. There are different suture techniques that are used in different operations, some are simple and some are more complicated. There are sutures that are visible as knots and are removed once the wound has healed. Others are internal and will eventually dissolve.

Reference: Simple suture: a basic suturing technique for surgical and wound closure

Reference information:
A "simple suture technique" is a technique that called for to at least begin a closure and can well be the first stitch to tie off and anchor the suturing that is elected for the repair. See page 8 of the first reference PDF for a description with an illustration.

There are other basic suturing stitches that are called for routinely, such as the 'closed technique' and the "mattress technique'.

In arthroscopic repair surgery, the types of closures used vary and include anchors and other types of suturing devices to ensure that the healing process will be complete, so that the patient will regain full use of the area repaired. This calls for sturdy and proven suturing techniques and methods. In the second reference URL, on page 5, please refer to the text under the header: "AUTHORS’ PREFERRED TECHNIQUE", the authors recommend: "2 simple sutures stabilizing the anterior and posterior edges of the rotator cuff cable separated by 2 horizontal mattress sutures".
