Explanation

"Simple interrupted fashion" is a term used in medicine, specifically in surgery, to describe a particular way of stitching a wound or surgical incision. It involves placing individual stitches, one after the other, across the length of the wound. Each stitch is tied off separately, rather than in a continuous line. This method is often used because if one stitch fails, the others remain intact, preventing the wound from reopening.
