Suturing & Stapling

Suturing and stapling are two common methods used to close wounds and surgical incisions. Suturing involves using a needle and thread (suture) to sew the edges of a wound together. This method is often used for smaller wounds or areas where a more precise closure is needed. Stapling, on the other hand, uses a special device called a skin stapler to insert small metal staples into the skin to hold the edges of the wound together. Stapling is generally faster than suturing and is often used for larger wounds or in areas where a quick closure is needed.
