Do you have to remove stitches for varicose vein surgery?

Generally varicose vein surgery does not require stitches to be removed, a few patients may need to have them removed. Varicose vein surgery is taken as a minimally invasive procedure where the incisions are small and most of them do not have stitches, so there is no need for suture removal. There are also some patients who are treated with open surgery, but when the choice of suture is collagen threads after surgery, the collagen threads will be gradually absorbed by the skin with the changes and do not need to be removed. However, there are a few patients who are undergoing varicose vein surgery, but after choosing the stitches after the normal suture surgery, the stitches usually need to be removed in about 10-14 days. It is important to take good care of the wound area after varicose vein surgery and if the stitches need to be removed follow the doctor’s instructions to have them removed at the right time in the hospital.
