A member asked:
I'm having a gallbladder operation. will the insisions be closed with glue or will they be stitched with dissolvable stitches or staples?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Laproscopic versus open? Laproscopic incisions are small. Usually the deep tissue/muscles are stitched and the skin is glued. It really depends on the surgeon on how the incisions will be closed.
