Suture techniques are methods used by surgeons to close wounds or surgical incisions. These techniques involve using a needle and thread, known as sutures, to bring the edges of the tissue together. Different types of sutures, such as absorbable and non-absorbable, are chosen based on the healing requirements of the tissue and the location of the wound. Common suture techniques include the simple interrupted suture, where individual stitches are placed, and the continuous suture, which involves a single thread running along the wound. Proper suture techniques are essential for minimizing scarring and promoting effective healing.
