Is it possible that my stitches or staples in my stomach could fall out?

Good morning, ma'am,

Yes, it is always possible for staples to come loose. Did you receive any post-op reading material during your discharge?

Thank you for the clarification.

As for sutures or staples at the incision site, the presence of discharge or increased discharge should be reported to the nurse or physician.

For internal staples, this question should be redirected to the nurse or surgeon, depending on their location.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
