How many days will it take to remove the stitches from a nephrectomy?

Generally speaking, the stitches can be removed in 7-9 after nephrectomy, and the exact time should be consulted with professional physicians. The time to remove the stitches is also the time for wound healing, which is mainly affected by whether the wound is infected or not, the surface tension of the wound during healing and whether the wound has sound blood circulation. In the case of nephrectomy, if you are in good health and all the examination indexes are in the normal range, and the wound is not red, swollen, pus-filled and healing well, the time for removing the stitches is about 7-9 days, and the time for removing the stitches may be prolonged if the wound is healing abnormally. After removing the stitches, it is recommended to continue to rest in bed, if there is any sudden discomfort or wound infection during the period, consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions.
