WHEN SHOULD DOCTORS REMOVE STITCHES Surgical sutures or stitches are usually removed 7-14 days after surgery. Removal of stitches should be done ONLY by a physician or physician assistant after examination and under sterile comditions in order to avoid complications including opening of the wound, infections, and even life threatening conditions.
Stitches vary in strength as well as in the time they take to dissolve completely. Some stitches dissolve in 7 days while others take more than 10 days. In these 7-10 days, a patient must care for the stitches properly in order to allow the wound to heal. The loose ends of the stitches can be removed by the nurse or the doctor once the wound heals and most of the stitches dissolve internally.
