Removal of suture is a minor medical or dental procedure in which stitches placed during surgery or wound closure are taken out once healing has progressed.
It involves carefully cutting and withdrawing the suture material to prevent infection, irritation, or interference with tissue recovery. The timing depends on the location and type of wound, usually ranging from a few days to two weeks. Removal is performed by a healthcare professional under sterile conditions to ensure safety and comfort. The process allows the tissue to continue healing naturally without the support of stitches.
