An incision may be closed with:
- Sutures (stitches) on the outside of the body
- Surgical staples, which provide added strength to the incision
- Sutures on the inside, underneath the skin. Small sticky strips (called Steri-strips) may be placed on your skin across the incision line. These strips will fall off when the incision has healed.
