How long do glue stitches stay on?

Do they just come off when they are ready? I did not get instructions on them. My post op is in 4 weeks.

Re: How long do glue stitches stay on?

Had my surgery yesterday as well. I was advised that they would come off in the next two weeks. My nurse said that if they are peeling and itching then you can gently scratch them off. I only have two of the glue stitches that were for the bladder sling.

I had my surgery on the 16th and the glue is practically gone. They just kind of flake off when the skin underneath is healed. I think it's great...no infection or itch. I just shower as usual, but gently around the incisions.
