Hip Resurfacing at Surface HippyPosted on by Patricia Walter
Dr. De Smet
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.
