Patient report/ pathology report
I am translating a medical report about a patient with abdominal problems. The report has moved a description of the surgical intervention (laparoscopy) which has taken place. The report has just mentioned the abdominal wall closure.
I am completely unclear of its meaning. I think it is something about the skin being stitched together with silk?
I am also not sure of why 2/0 is included?
Many thanks

Wound closure using interrupted sutures (2-0 silk)
This is typical medicalese. It just means that the skin has been stitched together using "punta staccata", which is the suturing technique, as opposed to, say, continuous sutures. Being a laparoscopy, the skin wounds will be very small.

"Abdominal fascial wound closure with 2–0 sutures does not lead to increased rates of dehiscence or incisional hernia."
https://gut.bmj.com/content/64/Suppl_1/A163.1
"This is an introduction to basic suturing skills, including how to perform a simple interrupted suture. Simple interrupted sutures are most appropriate for wounds with well-approximated skin edges under no tension."
