But these clips are there for a purpose, so surely they need to be left in or a leak will take place.

Also are we meant to have these checked every so often to see there isn't any leakage etc? I am sure the doctor that performed mine said something about this, but to be honest I can't be positive on this as I was still recovering from the OP and the morphine.

Received an email from the surgeon that says he was there for my operation even though he supervised as another doctor actually performed the procedure, and he confirmed that it was indeed Titanium clips that had been used.

By the way I had posted a link on an earlier post on this thread, I see it's still awaiting approval, you can delete this now if you want. :D

Emis Moderator comment: hi both, I deleted the duplicate post but left the link in as may be useful for someone else. And House, thanks for reporting those 2 posts this morning, I've deleted them and deactivated the user. I will sort the others soon.
PS should have known better than to put colon[/ for closing tag - this is part of the next set of requests to save the smilies appearing everywhere. :D
Cheers,
Alan
