Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Skin staples are removed 5 to 7 days postoperatively. As the skin heals, it flattens out to form an even surface with excellent cosmetic results if they have been placed lightly over the skin and are not embedded. Staples can be placed through an endoscope, and they produce an air-tight, leak-proof closure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Synthetic mesh is very porous to allow free drainage of exudate. It is easily cut, easily sutured underneath tissue edges, and is an inert material.
