Treatment of tissue reactions to suture will vary, depending on the degree of clinical signs. If the suture reaction is mild, then typically no treatments are required. For more advanced suture reactions or if the reaction does not resolve within 1–2 weeks, then removal of the suture(s) or entire suture line is indicated. [23]. Samples of the affected tissues should then be submitted for bacterial culture and histopathological assessment [23]. Once the problematic sutures have been removed, the wound can be closed with a more inert suture material or left to heal by second intention, depending on the circumstances of the case. Granulomatous or abscess formation, and suture sinuses will usually heal without detrimental complication once the inciting suture is removed [9].
