A surgical securement and marking system utilizing one or more surgical securement apparatus that are color-coded to convey information about the associated intercorporeal structures. The surgical securement apparatus can be particularly adapted for use in securing intracorporeal structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and tendons during a surgical procedure. An extender tube connected to the surgical securement apparatus enables securement of intracorporeal structures within the surgical site from outside the surgical site. A threading assembly for use with the surgical securement apparatus that is adapted to facilitate threading of a cord along the length of the surgical securement apparatus.
