How many days after saphenous varicose vein surgery can I have my stitches drawn?

The time for saphenous vein varicose vein extraction is usually around 12-14 days, but it is not absolute and depends on the surgical approach taken, the size of the surgical incision, the prognosis and the presence of complications. Traditionally, varicose saphenous vein surgery is known as high saphenous vein stripping. The procedure is performed by incision and the stitches are usually removed in about 12-14 days. If the patient’s wound is associated with purulent infection, the stitches can be removed earlier to remove localized pus. For minimally invasive surgical treatment of saphenous vein surgery to remove stitches is relatively short, and some patients do not need to remove stitches. Postoperative incision should keep the dressing clean, the correct use of elastic bandage, appropriate elevation of the affected limb, to ensure that the nutritional intake has an important impact on the prognosis. The stitches should also be removed according to the doctor’s recommendation.
