Should plastic surgeon's nurse do stitches during surgery?

I recently had a consultation for a tummy tuck & breast lift & the surgeon said his nurse helps do the stitches. Not sure if he was referring to internal stitches or closing stitches as didn’t think to ask at the time but wondering if this is common or should the surgeon be the one doing them?
