A cut can happen anywhere on your body.
The doctor used staples to close the cut. Staples easily and quickly close a cut, which helps the cut heal.
Sometimes a cut can injure tendons, blood vessels, or nerves. If the cut went deep and through the skin, the doctor may have put in a layer of stitches below the staples. The deeper layer of stitches brings the deep part of the cut together. These stitches will dissolve and don't need to be removed. The staples in the upper layer are what you see on the cut.
You may have a bandage. You will need to have the staples removed, usually in 7 to 14 days.
The doctor has checked you carefully, but problems can develop later. If you notice any problems or new symptoms, get medical treatment right away.
