The correct sequence for suture removal is to first gently lift the suture away from the tissue (2), then cut the thread below the knot close to the tissue (3), followed by removing the suture (4). After removal, the suture site may be debrided if necessary (5), and finally, the sutures that have been removed should be counted to ensure that all have been accounted for (1).
