Usually you will have subcutaneous sutures placed to close the holes
through which the cameras and laparoscopic tools were placed in order
to do your surgery. You should not see the sutures, and they will
absorb on their own. You may see steri-strips, which are used to
provide some extra support to the subcutaneous sutures and protect the
incision. Other surgeons may have other practices, however.
