Catgut suture is absorbable - the body breaks it down by phagocytosis, eventually leaving no trace that it was ever there. Therefore, catgut is typically used in situations where the sutures will never be looked at again, much less removed by hand. Theoretically, catgut sutures could be removed in the same fashion as any other suture - cutting between the knot and the rest of the suture and removing the remnants.
