Hello,
Usually there are stiches after the Mohn surgery. Most cases, the sutures will dissolve on their own. If you have sutures that do not dissolve, we will remove them at a follow-up visit approximately 2 weeks after your surgery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
