surgical suturing

Surgical suturing is the process of closing wounds or surgical incisions using stitches. Surgeons use a needle and thread, or suture material, to carefully join the edges of the skin or tissue together. This helps promote healing and prevents infection. Sutures can be absorbable, which dissolve over time, or non-absorbable, requiring removal after healing. The choice of suturing technique depends on the type of surgery, the area involved, and the patient's specific needs. Proper suturing is essential for minimizing scarring and ensuring that the body heals effectively.
