Are the external sutures dissolvable in a keyhole hysterectomy?

In a keyhole hysterectomy, also known as laparoscopic hysterectomy, external sutures may or may not be used depending on the surgical technique and the surgeon's preference. If external sutures are used, they are typically non-dissolvable and will need to be removed after a few days. However, some surgeons may use dissolvable sutures for internal layers, while external skin closure may still require non-dissolvable stitches. Always consult with your surgeon for specific details related to your procedure.
