A member asked:

My metal clips from gallbladder removal have migrated to mid-abdominal area. no serious symptoms. will i need surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: the staples are placed in the surgical site, usually, localized to the site of the cholecystectomy ( right upper abdominal area. It is certainly rare that clips ( staples) have migrated to the mid abdominal area. Please consult your surgeon.
