I was very worried about that too!!! Instead he used smaller pliers with a staple remover head on them. MOST PAINFUL!! Faaark me. It flicks the staple back open to nearly flat, ripping out of the skin on both sides each time. Very unpleasant.

The only bit that isn't quite right is between the first and second staple on the inside, nearest the foot. The circle of light pink is an open wound; the skin wasn't joined there. Bummer. It looks sorta ok in that photo, because that was immediately the bandage was removed. After a minute it started oozing puss and gunk, so need to keep an eye on that.
