Surgical suture

This surgery might be when the doctor takes a sharp knife and cuts open your skin, before then sewing it back together. This sewing is the surgical suture. In fact, it is a huge component of many kinds of medical surgeries as well and serves to unite tissues.

This is how it works: The doc has to be careful when he makes an incision in the skin. They slowly but steadily align the tissue folds along the cut thus matching or ‘closing’ them to a T. This is critical as if the edges are not lining up properly this will slow down healing or cause issues. The doctor then sews the edges together using a special needle and thread, after first matching up those edges. This is made from a specific kind of material (and I cant for the life remember what it's called) that will dissolve over time and you don't have to come back in later and have the stitch taken out.

Precision Techniques for Flawless Surgical Suture Placemen

Being sure the edges of a wound are in perfect alignment is the single most critical aspect of performing surgical suturing. This is a highly difficult feat to achieve. This is what doctors are taught to do in med school and if/when they go through surgical training. But they train a lot to make sure it is done perfectly in surgery.

After the wound is brought together in proper alignment, the sutures will be done with a special needle which stitches as it penetrates across and over an open wound. The stitches need to be tight enough so the… wound edges come together, but not so tight that they compromise blood flow. Tight stitches can pull or hurt and also make healing slower.
