Suturing patterns

Suturing patterns are specific ways surgeons join tissues with stitches to promote healing and reduce scarring. Different patterns, like interrupted or continuous stitches, distribute tension evenly, close wounds securely, and accommodate tissue type or wound location. For example, interrupted sutures involve individual stitches that can be adjusted or removed separately, while continuous sutures run in a single thread across the wound. Choosing the right pattern depends on factors such as wound size, movement, and tissue strength, aiming to minimize infection risk and facilitate optimal healing.
