When you are discharged from the hospital with a hand injury, you can usually have the stitches removed elsewhere. Stitch removal is the final step in a surgical procedure and involves removing the sutures from a surgical wound. The timing of suture removal generally has a lot to do with the surgical site, local blood supply and age, and has little to do with the hospital where the sutures are removed. Stitches are removed 4~5 days after head, face and neck surgery, 10~12 days for hand surgery (joints can be extended appropriately), and 14 days for reduction sutures. If the surgical site is special or the special suture used in the surgery, it is best to remove the suture in the original suture hospital. After removing the stitches, the wound may split or become wider and wider scars due to tension, which should be changed in time or fixed with adhesive tape for scar fixation, which is recommended to be carried out under the guidance of the doctor.
