suturing methods

Suturing methods are techniques used to close wounds by sewing tissue together to promote healing and prevent infection. Different methods include interrupted sutures, where individual stitches are made and tied off separately, providing strong, secure closure. Continuous sutures involve a single thread stitched along the wound, making faster closure and reducing material use. There are also specialized techniques like subcuticular stitches, which hide stitches under the skin for a neat appearance, and mattress sutures, used for closing deeper or tension-prone areas. The choice depends on the wound type, location, and desired healing outcome.
