Rapid Gallstone Clinic - Patient Information

Woundcare following gallstone surgery

Dissolving stitches are used to secure the skin in both key hole surgery and the traditional surgery, so there are none to be removed.

You will have some paper strips (steristrips) over the incisions made during key hole surgery.

Peel these off after 4 to 5 days.
