Stitches can usually be removed about 10 days after minimally invasive kidney cyst surgery and it is advisable to consult your surgeon. Absorbable sutures as well as non-absorbable sutures can be used to close the wound after minimally invasive kidney cyst surgery. If it is absorbable suture, usually there is no need to remove the suture after surgery. In case of non-absorbable suture, the suture is usually removed around 7 to 9 days after surgery, therefore, the suture can be removed 10 days after surgery. However, some patients who are older, have poor diets, or are malnourished may experience delayed healing or even non-healing of the wound, which may require prolonged suture removal. As there are individual differences between patients, the specific situation should be decided in conjunction with the patient’s physical condition. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital to have a professional doctor to check the wound healing situation to determine whether the stitches can be removed or not, and it is not possible to remove them by oneself.
