The time to remove sutures after circumcision is related to the surgical suturing method. Ordinary sutures can generally be removed in 7-10 days, and if they are absorbable sutures, they do not need to be removed.
The sutures of circumcision surgery mainly include ordinary sutures and absorbable sutures. Ordinary sutures are generally removed about 7-10 days after surgery, and the wound healing recovery should be observed before the removal of the sutures, and if the local edema is obvious, the removal time can be extended by 1-2 days. If absorbable sutures are used, as the wound heals and recovers, the sutures begin to melt off gradually in about 20 days and do not need to be removed. In addition, if the circumcision is performed using a cutting anastomosis, the wound is sutured by the titanium staples of the cutter during the surgery. Usually, the titanium staples are not removed after the surgery and will gradually detach around 20 days after the surgery. If the absorbable sutures and titanium staples are still present in the wound more than 1 month after surgery, they need to be removed in a timely manner.
During the postoperative recovery process, it is important to regularly review and observe the recovery of wound healing, and seek medical treatment early if there is foreskin edema and bleeding.
