Title: stitches out where?
Post by: littlereddevil on April 04, 2013, 17:45:15 PM

After surgery I need stitches taken out next Monday when I will be in Fethiye.
Can I just walk in to the Esnaf (nearest to my house ) or anywhere else and just ask for them to be taken out?
I ain't staying at home!
Thanks

I cant seeing it being a problem, probably Esnaf would be better, you could ring up and make an appt.  Maybe also ask in the Clinic in Calis

I had the same problem some time ago when on holiday in Olu Deniz. I went to one of the clinics on the main street in Hisaronu to have stiches, (done in England) removed. The doctor was more than happy to remove them, but as my wound was slightly inflamed, decided not to. If your wound is ok, any doctor should remove your stitches. Enjoy your holiday.

Had stitches out twice now in Fethiye and used the Esnaf both times.Just walked in,no need for an appointment and price very reasonable.

I must add to my earlier post, when we got back to the U.K. Loz took out my stitches herself . Mind you, she wanted to draw the knots through as well !!    :o  She does love me, really !!
