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.
