Does The Tissue Come Back Together After The Kidney Donation?

I am donating my left kidney to my mom friday and im wondering about the staples. Does the artery ever heal back together? As in does the tissue come back together or will it forever be held by staples? Can the staples come undone? Thank You for taking the time to answer my humble question.

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must appreciate your curiosity. It's good to clear doubts.
The artery gets sealed up with blood clot inside, after getting clamped with staples.This is a permanent seal. The staples remain a lifetime.There're two type of staples, used today. Commonly used are, the Hemolock staples,which have a better grip.Then there's a titanium staple, which's used in few centres. Staples can come off, anytime.If causing a problem in anyway to patient,it's removed, as an emergency,or later.
