endoscopic stapler is a common device used in surgery to replace manual suturing. It uses titanium staples to cut or staple human tissues, similar to a stapler. So, will it have any impact if the stapler titanium staples are left in the body?
In the past, traditional laparotomy was performed with sutures to suture wounds. If they were not removed, there might be a risk of infection. However, with the development of technology, the suture staples currently used are relatively small in size, and are generally used in the thin skin at the sutured site, so the suture staples will fall off by themselves. For example, the suture staples used in circumcision devices will shrink to a certain extent about 7-14 days after the operation due to the subsidence of local skin edema and skin healing. In addition, due to the patient's own activities and the friction of clothing, many suture staples will automatically fall off, thus eliminating the pain of removing the suture staples.
1. As the wound heals, the tissue gradually deswells, and the gap between the titanium nail and the tissue gradually increases, eventually causing the titanium nail to fall off.
2. During the healing process, the tissue sandwiched between the titanium nails will gradually necrotize, causing the titanium nails to lose their grip and then fall off on their own.
3. The human body has an immune rejection function. When the wound heals, the body's self-rejection function will cause the skin and mucous membrane to push the titanium nail out, causing it to fall off on its own.
4. Infection is also a factor that causes titanium nails to fall off. Infection can cause tissue inflammation, causing the titanium nails to be regarded as foreign bodies and be expelled.
These processes work together to allow the suture nails to be naturally expelled from the human body, thus achieving the effect of automatic shedding.
