Will I Have Stitches or Staples?

Return to FAQ LIST

 

Dr. De Smet

Normally staples are closing the wound. In young patients (ladies!) and on request the wound is getting closed intracutaneously.


When do the stitches or staples have to be removed?

Half of the stitches or staples are normally removed after 14 days. The remaining half is removed after 16 days. Depending on the individual patient, one can decide to remove the staples later on. Staples are removed with a special device.

In case of an intracutaneous suture, one only has to cut off one end of the suture. It is not the purpose to remove the complete suture because it is resorbable.
