WHEN SHOULD DOCTORS REMOVE STITCHES Surgical sutures or stitches are usually removed 7-14 days after surgery. Removal of stitches should be done ONLY by a physician or physician assistant after examination and under sterile comditions in order to avoid complications including opening of the wound, infections, and even life threatening conditions.
If you had an open procedure, with the larger traditional incision, you will want to wait until your surgeon removes the staples holding the incision closed before you take a bath, which typically happens about two weeks after surgery. Some surgeries require postponing bathing for an extended period of time.
