If a wound is closed intermittently, one knot is counted as one stitch, while if it is closed continuously, one stitch is counted as one counterpoint stitch.
Wound suture is a relatively common way and means of trauma treatment, under normal circumstances if the interrupted suture is taken, then a knot is counted as the completion of a stitch; if the continuous suture is carried out, according to a counterpoint suture once counted as a stitch, depending on the means of suturing to determine the specific need to take.
Interrupted sutures are more commonly used, with more silk thread to protect the wound, and can be easily drained after fluid accumulation to minimize total dehiscence; while continuous sutures are mainly used for intradermal sutures on the peritoneum, neck, and other skin.
The sutures are performed in different ways for different parts of the wound, depending on the doctor’s decision.
