Stitches are a common medical procedure used to close wounds and cuts. They involve using a needle and thread to sew the edges of the wound together, which helps the skin heal and prevents infection. There are several types of stitches, including running stitches, lock stitches, and interrupted stitches. The type of stitch used will depend on the location and severity of the wound. After the stitches are placed, they usually need to be kept clean and dry for about a week. Then, the stitches are typically removed by a medical professional.
