Explanation

"Running fashion" in a medical context refers to a method of stitching or suturing a wound. Instead of individual stitches that are tied off one by one, a running stitch is a continuous line of stitches. This method is often used because it is quicker and can provide a more even pressure across the wound, which can help with healing. It's called "running" because the thread runs continuously along the length of the wound.
