Post operation
Hie sir,
My father had recently undergone hydrocele operation on jan 11 2022 and stitches were removed on 28th jan 2022. After few days my father has seen some stiches which were not cut and went to the hospital to remove those. Even after that he found stiches 3 more times. In those one of them were found last night. Now, we are worried are there any more stitches left in the area. Sir, please tell me us is there is any other way(like scanning or any other modern way) to find out whwther there are any more sketches.
Please let me know what are the steps to be taken further.
