The invention provides a surgical staple remover comprising: a staple holder which enters into both sides under the crown of a surgical staple stitching the skin and holds the surgical staple and a pressing slider which presses the upper central part of the surgical staple held by the staple holder, draws out the thus deformed surgical staple from the skin and then moves the surgical staple into a housing space along a staple receiver formed continuously from the staple holder. Surgical staples in the housing space can be surely and easily counted.
