For what length of time do you have to be in the hospital for staph surgical removal?

Staples?: I believe there might have been a typo in your question. For staples or sutures removal you may not need to go to the hospital at all, this is usually done in the office. If this followed a staph infection on a wound you will not have to stay in the hospital after removal unless immediate complications, bleeding or persistent infection.
