Mini-invasive technique of sclerotherapy with talc in chronic seroma after abdominoplasty - a case report and literature review

Acta Chir Plast. 2023 Winter;64(3-4):143-147. doi: 10.48095/ccachp2022143.

Abstract

The formation of a seroma after abdominoplasty is one of the most common complications faced by plastic surgeons. A 59-year-old man underwent lipoabdominoplasty and developed a large subcutaneous seroma that persisted for 7 months. Percutaneous sclerosis with talc was performed. We present the first report of chronic seroma after lipoabdominoplasty successfully treated with talc sclerosis.
