What is surgical stiching?

Surgical stitching, also known as suturing, is a medical procedure used to close wounds or surgical incisions. It involves the use of specialized threads, known as sutures, which are threaded through the skin or tissue to hold the edges together and promote healing. Different types of sutures can be used, including absorbable and non-absorbable materials, depending on the specific needs of the patient and the nature of the wound. Proper suturing is essential for minimizing scarring and preventing infection.
