Is 20 days too long for staples to stay in after spigelian hernia repair.

Staples post op: Staples after some surgeries like certain hernia repairs can stay in up to 3 weeks and are removed at a postop visit to the surgeon. Usually no baths or swimming in pools are permitted until the staples are removed. Your operating surgeon can advise you best,however.
