During these procedures, a large seroma that had formed over the surgical site after each procedure was drained. |
The differential diagnoses of the swelling, as visualized on MRI scan, were either a post-traumatic seroma or some form of fat necrosis. |
An incremental change in overall postoperative, digestive, hemorrhage, seroma, wound complications, or in-hospital mortality was not demonstrated as hospital volume increased. |
A seroma that developed at the hernia site after 1 week was treated conservatively. |
We also identified other surgical complications, including seroma, surgical wound infections, hematoma, and flap necrosis. |
The large pannus predisposes patients to fluid accumulation, creating an environment conducive to seroma formation, infection, and wound edge separation or dehiscence. |
