I don't think any of those staples are intended to be removed - they'd have to open you back up to do it, with all the associated risks of surgery. I've never heard of anyone having internal staples or stitches removed.

Nothing holds my head together, and when I try to explain to the nice TSA agent that the scissors belong to Harvey, well they look at me in the oddest way. I don't see the problem, I bought him a seat and he needs to keep his pink fur trimmed...
sorry Lee, I couldn't resist
