Iani may be a top contributor but she's no surgeon. What she's describing are tension sutures. Normally we use sutures to hold two things together (the two edges of an incision, two blood vessels, two loops of bowel etc) or to tie off something (a bleeding blood vessel). A stay suture is used to hold or manipulate the structure we're operating on. It's purpose is temporary and once we finish working on that organ or structure we would normally remove the stay suture (although it usually does no harm to leave it in place). For Instance, when doing a gastrojejunostomy I like to put two stay sutures to hold the stomach and jejunum in alignment. I also use stay sutures while doing a splenorenal shunt to keep control over the edges of the opening in the renal vein in case the vascular clamp should slip. There are, of course, many other situations where they are used.

Stay sutures are temporary surgical sutures which are placed during operation to hold or manipulate the operating area. In case of suprapubic cystolithotomy, appendicectomy, ureterolithotomy, choledocholithotomy operation stay suture can be given. Stay sutures are removed after the surgical operation are done.

Stay sutures are very large sutures or stitches used in addition to smaller skin sutures. After surgery, they attach underlying tissues of fat and muscle as well as skin and are used to support incisions in obese individuals or when healing may be prolonged. The sutures are frequently left in place fourteen to twenty-one days.

Nothing to eat after 8pm the night before only water until 8am then take that away,drop them off at the vets at 9am and pick up that afternoon if all is well, They give them a long lasting pain releif after the op so they wont have pain that day, You feed tham a light meal for a few days chicken is good, If they lick excessesively they need to wear a cone or the wound wont heal and may get infected.On females they usually do internall stitches that disolve, on boys they have ones that need to be removed 10 days after the op.Its an op worth doing and i have never had any problems.
