Is it possible for my stitches or staples in my stomach to fall out?

It is possible for staples or sutures in the stomach to become dislodged. If you notice any unusual discharge or an increase in discharge from the incision site, it is important to report this to a nurse or doctor. If you have any concerns about internal staples, it would be best to direct your question to a nurse or surgeon depending on their location.
