Can I leave the thread for skin stitches unremoved?

**The thread used for the needle cannot be left unremoved. The inner surface is sewn with sheep intestines without dismantling, and can be absorbed by ** inside.

However, the thread used for the stitch generally does not use gut, mainly from the aesthetic considerations, and the appearance is not good-looking.

If it's absorbable, don't use it, if it's not, you have to dismantle it, after all, it's a foreign body.

The thread you are talking about sewn into the meat is medical silk thread.

It's okay, there is a possibility of leftover, but depending on the condition of the scar at that time, some need an internal seam, so that the inside will be sutured with absorbable threads, the threads are foreign bodies, and the non-absorbable threads will be rejected.

Most of the small blood vessel bleeding during the operation requires medical silk threads to ligate the blood vessels in order to stop the bleeding, these threads are left in the body for a long time, absorbable sutures can be absorbed by the body, although this kind of thread can not be absorbed, but it will not cause infection and suppuration [unless you are allergic to it].

Generally speaking, medical sutures are very strong, and general exercise will not break the sutures.

Before the sutures are removed, the wound should avoid contact with water, dirt, and strenuous exercise.

Oral antibiotics or infusion**, visit the hospital every 3 days for re-examination and wound dressing.

Now there is a wound suture that can be absorbed by the human body without removing the sutures.

The steps to remove the stitches are as follows:

1. Remove the dressing on the incision, disinfect the wound, scissors and cameras with alcohol.

2. Lift the thread end with tweezers, pull out a little outside the eye of the needle for the thread segment buried in the skin, cut it with scissors there, and pull out the suture with the tweezers to the trimming side.

3. Cover gauze with alcohol disinfection again and fix it with adhesive tape.

I'm a surgeon, and it's easy to remove the stitches, if your wound heals well. It generally takes more than 10 days to remove the stitches on the soles of the feet, and it will crack if it is removed early.

Stitch removal: 1. Disinfect the wound, scissors and camera with alcohol first. No alcohol sprinkles, no scissors with knives, no shots with hands.

2. Lift the thread end with tweezers, pull out the thread segment buried in the skin a little outside the eye of the needle, cut it at the pulled out thread, and pull out the sutures, even if it is a stitch. I dismantled all the threads in turn.

3、.Sterilize with ethanol** again, cover gauze, and fix with adhesive tape. If you don't have gauze, you don't need to cover the gauze, just cool and dry the wound.
