For a thyroidectomy, typically absorbable sutures, such as Vicryl or PDS, are used for closure of the incision. These sutures dissolve over time and do not need to be removed. Occasionally, skin staples may also be used for closure.
Medicine and Dentistry
There are several types of sutures used in surgery, including absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures break down over time and do not require removal, while non-absorbable sutures need to be removed manually. Sutures can also be categorized based on their material, such as silk, nylon, or polypropylene.

Sutures are only found in the skull. Sutures are classified as a Fibrous joint - and permit no movement. Sutures are connected by fibro cartilage. Fibrous cartilage is made up of dense irregular connective tissue.
There are several types of sutures including absorbable (e.g. catgut, vicryl), non-absorbable (e.g. nylon, silk), barbed, and dissolvable sutures. Sutures can also be classified by their structure such as monofilament (single strand) or multifilament (multiple strands twisted together).
General and Cosmetic Dentistry
No, sutures are not naturally found in the acetabulum. The acetabulum is a concave socket in the pelvis where the head of the femur fits to form the hip joint. Sutures are fibrous joints found in the skull where bones articulate.
