In a colectomy, sutures commonly used include absorbable sutures for internal anastomoses, such as polyglycolic acid or polylactic acid, which support healing without requiring removal. Non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon or polypropylene, may be used for skin closure. The choice of suture material and technique often depends on the surgeon's preference and the specific clinical scenario. Additionally, staples may also be used for anastomosis in some cases.
