Surgical knot - Gekamusubi (English spelling) surgical knot
This is a ligation method. The thread is passed through the first loop twice, and then tied again on top of that. By passing the thread twice, the friction surface between the threads is increased, making it less likely to come loose and thus allowing for a more reliable ligation. This method is particularly popular in surgery to ensure hemostasis and suturing, hence the name (Figure). [Ono Mikiko]

Japanese:
結紮(けつさつ)法の一つ。最初の輪に糸を2度くぐらせてから,改めてその上で糸を結ぶ方法。2度くぐらせることにより糸どうしの摩擦面が大きくなり,緩みにくく,したがって確実な結紮ができる。とくに外科領域で止血や縫合を確実にするために好んで用いられることから,この名称がついた(図)。【小野 美貴子】
