A member asked:
Are staples or sritches used when u have cholesytecomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgeon: This is surgeon dependent. Generally, at least deep sutures will be used. Skin closure can be done with glue, sutures, or staples. Most surgeons will seek the best cosmetic result. This is best achieved using "buried" absorbable sutures and/or glue.... Not staples.
