The number of stitches in a 6-inch incision can vary depending on factors like the type of suturing technique used and the type of tissue being stitched. Generally, surgeons might place about 3 to 5 stitches per inch for a standard closure, resulting in approximately 18 to 30 stitches for a 6-inch incision. However, this can be adjusted based on the specific needs of the wound and the surgeon's preference.
