Normally, suture removal should not take more than 14 days, and if the sutures are not removed by the end of this period, not only will the wound healing be affected, but also foreign body reaction may occur. Although there is an approximate timeframe for suture removal, the exact timeframe depends on the patient’s wound healing condition. Stitch removal is the last but crucial step in surgical procedures, removing the sutures from the surgical wound in order to allow the wound to heal better and to avoid foreign body reactions. The time for suture removal varies from site to site, depending on the specific incision site, the local blood supply to the wound, and the age of the patient. Generally speaking, the stitches are removed 4~5 days after surgery for head, neck and face, 6~7 days after surgery for perineum and lower abdomen, 7~9 days after surgery for buttocks, back, chest and upper abdomen, 10~12 days after surgery for limbs, which can be extended appropriately for joints, and 14 days for wounds with reduced tension suture.
