The stitch removal time for minimally invasive surgery is usually 5-7 days, sometimes it takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, physical condition and other factors. If minimally invasive abdominal surgery is performed, the stitches can usually be removed 5-7 days after surgery. However, if the patient has underlying diseases such as diabetes, the time should be extended a bit. If the patient is undergoing surgery for an intra-abdominal infectious disease, the stitch removal time will also be extended a bit. If the patient is in poor physical condition and poor nutrition, the stitch removal time also needs to be extended to prevent local incomplete healing, which may lead to wound dehiscence after stitch removal. If the patient has obvious local fluid accumulation, infection or redness, etc., the stitch removal time needs to be extended, or the stitches need to be removed directly to release the fluid in them, followed by regular medication changes. Therefore, it is necessary to consult with the attending physician for the specific time of stitch removal.
