For a thyroidectomy, typically absorbable sutures, such as Vicryl or PDS, are used for closure of the incision. These sutures dissolve over time and do not need to be removed. Occasionally, skin staples may also be used for closure.
It is, however, more difficult to correctly align the edges of a wound for stapling, and staples generally cost more than sutures.
Surgical glue is now often used instead of conventional stitches. It leave no marks, as stitches or staples do.

Usually you will have subcutaneous sutures placed to close the holes through which the cameras and laparoscopic tools were placed in order to do your surgery.

Other surgeons may have other practices, however.
The two cut ends of the intestine may then be reconnected with sutures or surgical staples; this reconnection is called an end-toend anastomosis.
There are absorbable sutures, such as the surgical gut and fascia lata. Then there are non-absorbable sutures, such as silk, cotton, wire, dacron, linen, silver wire clips, silkworm gut, mesh, and tantalum.

The short answer is yes. Sutures are used to hold skin or parts of your body together. When they are used internally, they can be absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Non-absorbable sutures can be left in the body for a number of reasons and usually to hold something together for life, like a vasectomy, and as the name suggest absorbable sutures will absorbe into your body over time and never need removing.
The three main types of sutures are absorbable, non-absorbable, and barbed sutures. Absorbable sutures are designed to break down over time and do not need to be removed. Non-absorbable sutures remain in the body permanently unless removed. Barbed sutures have small barbs that help hold the tissue together without the need for tying knots.
One of the most important advantages of the summer season is to grow food. Many of the main food staples are grown during the summer months.
