Abstract

Background: Wounds can become infected associated with serous collection in the wound dead space in a condition known as seroma. After abdominal wall hernias correction, a variety of treatments have been tried to decrease seroma formation. Objective: To assess the rule of different modalities used in prevention of seroma formation post abdominal wall hernias repair. Patients and Methods: At Zagazig University Faculty of Medicine's General Surgery Department we carried out a clinical trial investigation. Transverse incisions and suction drains have been inserted in all patients undergoing hernioplasty and onlay mesh repair. The patients were divided into 4 groups: Group A: Classic hernioplasty for ventral hernia. Group B: Applying of histoacryl intraoperative after onlay mesh fixation. Group C: Applying of fibrin glue intraoperative after onlay mesh fixation. Group D: block closure of dead space after onlay mesh fixation. The patients were followed up in inpatients wards for 24 hours then discharged to continue their care and follow up in outpatient clinic at 1, 2, and 4 weeks. Results: When it came to the reduction of seroma production or other postoperative outcomes, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Fluid buildup can be avoided with the use of sclerotherapy, a minimally-invasive procedure that eliminates empty space. Chemical agents, tetracyclines, and talc were used satisfactorily with minimal complication rates.
