A member asked:
I'm 4 weeks post 2 level acdf. the incision is closed with no signs of infection. i am spitting 2 sutures. what causes this and do i just ignore them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ACDF : This is really nothing to be concerned about this is just sometimes people get a reaction to the suture material which is many times superficial and very close to the skin edge usually these will just come out and you can pull them out with a tweezer and they will go away. If there is a concern you should see and let your surgeon know so he can evaluate this further
