Suture Removal

Suture removal is the procedure of taking out surgical stitches from the skin or tissues after the wound has healed. Stitches are usually placed to close a wound after surgery or injury and to allow the tissue to heal. After a certain period of time, usually after several days to a few weeks, stitches are removed to ensure complete healing of the wound.

HOW IS IT DONE?

Suture removal is usually performed with small surgical scissors or tweezers. It is important to remove the stitches on time to avoid complications such as wound infection or leaving a scar. If you notice any issues with your wound after the stitches are removed, it is important to consult your doctor immediately.
