How do doctors remove staples after an appendectomy?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Staple Remover!: It sounds worse than it is, only causing a little pinching sensation. It will actually feel better once they are out.

A staple remover: A staple remover is a small tool adjusted to unbend the staples so they curl out of the skin without pulling on it.
