When will the cuff stitches dissolve?
I had LAVH five weeks ago and still have all of my cuff stitches. Any idea how long until they dissolve?

Re: When will the cuff stitches dissolve?
I had a LAVH too. I went for my 6 wk post op yesterday and my dr told me I still have some of my cuff stitches too. She told me to give it 2 more weeks and they should all be dissolved by then. She said some people are just slow healers. Hope this helps.

Re: When will the cuff stitches dissolve?
I can't feel the stitches but my dr did an internal exam and said she could feel them at the top. She said they feel hard if they aren't dissolved. Interesting...I guess they teach them that at school. She said most people's stitches are fully dissolved between 6-8 wks.
