These days they use a staple gun ( like they use on chair cushions ) rather than sew you up with a needle.
As my surgeon said to me, they were tired, it was late, and it’s been a long operation, so they went for the easy option of staples.
I imagine that taking them out would be more painful for the patient, however.
Since there are 45 staples, it might go on for a while.
Having the staples removed is not painful!

So so pleased for you Russ, things are looking up for you at long last.
Both John and I have been reading your blog having rung Stu to ask how you were the day following your op, when he told me you had been writing here we were both amazed. Still you always have been an amazing person eh!
Love you loads
Wendy and John xx
That’s amazing! I thought there’d be a huge red scar and bruising. Say what you like for staples, they do a very neat job!! Mx
All things considered, that is going to be quite a neat & tidy scar. ( I was expecting a hatchet job).
You are doing brilliantly!!!
Which hospital are you at?

WOW. So incredibly neat.
Glad it went well for you and that recovery time is much less than you anticipated.
