Reducing seroma formation1
- FG is thought to close over any small vessels including lymphatics that are too small for conventional surgical closure, thereby reducing seroma formation, seroma incidence and related comorbidities. (cochrane.org)
Complications5

- The remaining serous fluid causes a seroma that the body usually absorbs gradually over time (often taking many days or weeks), but a knot of calcified tissue sometimes remains. (wikipedia.org)
- It is due to the presence of rich lymphatic system in the breast, low fibrinogen levels in lymph fluid and potential space creation in the breast after surgery, which contributes to seroma formation. (wikipedia.org)
- A seroma is an accumulation of fluid in a tissue or organ, probably left after your hysterectomy. (cancer.org)
