If you have a cut that requires sutures then you should not be trying to stitch it yourself, go to your nearest doctor or hospital emergency department.
Suture is basically a stitch when you have a deep cut. So if you get stitches to close a wound they may tell you how many sutures they used to close the gash. Suture+stitch were as sutures mean stitches, there are no other meanings to this word. Ken...
A suture... is a surgical stitch to close a wound. Sutures are made of nylon thread.
It all depends on the judgment of the dentist. Sometimes sutures are indicated, sometimes they are not. Placing sutures when they are not indicated can lead to potential complications.
The doctor had to stitch up the gash in my arm, but he will remove the sutures next week.
If sutures are placed following extractions, five to seven days is usually the time frame for having them removed. Also remember than sometimes surgeons use resorbable sutures. That means the suture essentially dissolves over time and does not have to be removed.
I think it depends on the surgeon. The sutures my surgeon used were designed to dissolve over time, which they did after a week or so (if I remember correctly).
Most veterinarians use sutures that dissolve now a days due to the fact that most animals do not want to sit still to get the sutures removed. And those will take about 4 weeks or so to completely dissolve.

Is a type of stitch that has a combination of running stitch and back stitch .:)
Slang wise to get stitched up or to stitch up someone else is to betray or cheat them in a prearranged or clandestine manner. It is also a reference to the receipt of sutures to close a wound, typically a laceration or avulsion.
