A member asked:
I'm having laparoscopic cholecystectomy to remove gallbladder. will the wounds be stitched with staples or glued ?

Dissolveable sutures: Most laparoscopic surgeons will close the small incisions with buried absorbable sutures which do not require removal and will dissolve away on their own.
