following umbilical hernia repair i have a fluid collection of fluid believed to be seroma does this drain on its own, disperess or does one need a drain inserted. also what are the chances of it re-occurring
I had a seroma after surgery for a hernia in Sept of 2008. It is now Feb of 2010 and there is still some fluid. Dr.'s just say. OH well gotta live with it. Very disappointing.
i got a seroma following an incisional hernia repair - it did go eventually on its own without being drained it was quite big and a few months!! hopefully yours wont take as long - good luck with your recovery.
