Yeh... Staples? They just closed my incisions with surgical glue and tiny bandages (the kind you always see in films on people with cuts on their forehead).
The best thing they gave me was this insert made to fit around my knee and under the brace that you could hook up, via plastic tubes, to a pump-fitted ice cooler, and circulate ice water through it. Did a lot more for the pain and the swelling than anything else, even though you feel like an idiot sitting on a couch hooked up to an Igloo when your friends stop by.
Anyway, sorry for the highjacking, and good luck...
