Outside, I had stitches and surgical tape.
Inside, I don't know but staples will not set off a metal detector.
But, most implanted medical anything (nuts, bolts, plates, devices, etc.)won't set off a metal detector. If they implant anything that will they provide you with card to show security at the time so you don't have any issues.
