“Staple line” is also used.
Examples:
- “In terms of complications, about 10% of patients suffered from staple line disruption, which necessitated another surgery, and food intolerance was common but needed no surgical attention.”
- “Used for reinforcement of the gastric staple line during bariatric surgical procedures and also for buttressing and reinforcing staple lines during lung resection. ”
- “Staple Line Healing in Gastric Surgery [... / ...] Leaks and perforations are life-threatening but staple line disruptions usually are not. A small disruption may only be apparent on upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy or barium studies, but if the disruption is large, then gastric restriction will be lost. After a small disruption, the whole staple line could “unzip.””
Sleeve gastrectomy surgery -- Wounds are usually glued but may have staples (metal clips) or stitches to k eep them together while they heal. Staples will be re moved after 10 days
Gastrectomy -- Your wound will be closed with staples (metal clips) or Steri-Strips ® (special tapes). We will give you an appointment with your surgeon or family doctor who will remove the staples 7 - 10 days after your surgery.

Discussion
“Surgical staples are specialized staples used in surgery in place of sutures to close skin wounds, connect or remove parts of the bowels or lungs. A more recent development, from the 1990s, uses clips instead of staples for some applications; this does not require the staple to penetrate.”
“Although most surgical staples are made of titanium, stainless steel is more often used in some skin staples and clips.”
