Postoperative seroma is the most common minor complication after inguinal hernia repair surgery and can have negative consequences. The objective of this study was to identify potential risk factors f...
This study consecutively included 354 elderly patients with inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic Transabdominal preperitoneal Patch Plasty (TAPP). Seroma diagnosis was conducted by the same expe...
A total of 40 patients experienced postoperative complications of seroma, with an incidence rate of 11.3% (40/354). The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that obesity (OR: 2.98, 95% CI: 1.2...
Obesity, prolonged disease duration, decreased AFR level, and increased mFI score independently predict postoperative seroma after laparoscopic TAPP....
Although laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) has advantages over open surgery, postoperative seroma formation remains an issue. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and clinical out...
From January 2016 to March 2023, clinical data of patients who underwent LIHR were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who developed seroma and those who did not were classified into the seroma and non...
Data of 128 patients were evaluated. Compared with patients in the non-seroma group, those in the seroma group had a higher body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.001), more direct hernias (P < 0.001), larger h...
BMI (> 24.5 kg/m...
Seroma is a common complication after prepectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction with ADM, leading to wound dehiscencse, infection, and even loss of reconstruction at last. A new ultrasound (US) gui...
We enrolled 406 patients from January 1st, 2021 to July 1st, 2023 who underwent mastectomy and 1-stage prepectoral reconstruction with ADM. Experimental group counted 96 patients, whom have been treat...
Seroma incidence detected rate among experimental group, after 1-year follow-up, was 32.2%, compared to 16.8% in control cohort, additionally no other secondary complications were detected in the firs...
Seroma and correlated secondary complications may lead to additional surgeries, higher sanitary costs and even reconstructive failure. With a seriated US follow-up protocol application, the surgeon co...

Seroma or lymphocele remains the most common complication after mastectomy and lymphadenectomy for breast cancer. Many different techniques are available to prevent this complication: wound drainage, ...
Previous studies have identified the added value of flap fixation in reducing seroma formation and its sequelae after mastectomy. The seroma reduction after mastectomy (SAM)-trial proved that sutures ...
All patients in the suture flap fixation cohort from the SAM-trial were analyzed if details regarding flap fixation were available. The most optimal number of sutures was determined using a receiving ...
The most optimal number of sutures proved to be 15. Patients with ≥15 sutures had a lower incidence of seroma formation at every time frame during follow-up. There was a significant difference at 6 we...
Flap fixation in general, but also the surgical technique influences the incidence of seroma formation after mastectomy. Results suggest a minimum of 15 sutures, spaced approximately 3.7 cm apart....
Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces blood loss and blood transfusion requirements in surgery. Seroma and haematoma formation occur as complications of breast surgery. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis eva...
A systematic review was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Results were expressed as dichotomous variables pooled as odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) usi...
Seven studies including 1446 patients were included. There were 1830 breast surgery procedures performed with TXA administered in 797 cases (43.6%). There was a significant reduction in haematoma rate...
Perioperative administration of TXA may impact the incidence of haematoma in breast surgery, particularly in cosmetic procedures and procedures without ALND. Well-designed randomised studies are requi...
To determine whether transection of the hernia sac during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) affects the occurrence of seroma, and to explore the risk factors for seroma....
In total, 330 consecutive male patients with indirect inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP repair at the Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively enroll...
Among the 330 inguinal hernia male patients, 240 received hernia sac reduction and 90 received hernia sac transection. Fifty-four patients developed seroma, with an incidence of 16.4%. In patients wit...
This study showed that the incidence of seroma after TAPP was as high as 16.4%. For patients with a hernia sac that is too large and descended extends into the scrotum, transection may be better than ...
More than 1300 women with breast implants have developed an anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in fluid (seroma) around their implant. More often, seromas are due to benign causes, for example, cap...
Shoulder and arm dysfunction such as reduced range of motion (ROM) and seroma formation, are common complications following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). There are conflicting results on the ...
This observational cohort study at the Surgical clinic at Lund University Hospital in Sweden, included 217 consecutive patients who underwent ALND due to breast cancer, cutaneous malignant melanoma (C...
Two hundred patients completed the study. The overall seroma incidence was 67.5% and the odds of seroma were lower for patients practicing ROM exercise two times/day versus 0-1 time/day (OR 0.42, 95% ...
Extensive surgical treatments for breast cancer and malignant melanoma produces more seroma, and higher age and obesity may also influence the risk. ROM exercises twice daily predict a lower incidence...
Seromas refer to collections of fluid secreted into the so-called dead spaces when extensive dissection takes place. Various methods of preventing seroma have been reported in the literature but their...
To verify the expected benefit on usage of IHSI (intra-operative hypertonic saline irrigation) in aspect of decreasing subcutaneous fluid secretion and decreased hospital stay in patients undergoing v...
We conducted a cohort study of total 64 patients treated by two techniques and divided into 2 groups. In the first group (SUBLAY), we assessed patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction with th...
Mean drain output, starting from day 2 post-op, was significantly lower in the experimental subgroups of the ONLAY and SUBLAY compared to the respective control subgroups. This had a beneficial effect...
In the short-term results, we demonstrated that intraoperative hypertonic saline irrigation significantly decreased the amount of the drained fluid and shortened the hospital stay. Further multicentre...
