Introduction to seromas and their significance

Seromas are fluid pockets that can develop under the skin after surgery or injury. They are often seen in areas where tissue has been removed or where there has been trauma, such as in the breast or abdomen. Seromas are significant because they can cause discomfort, delay healing, and increase the risk of infection. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for seromas is important for both medical professionals and patients to ensure proper care and recovery.

Causes and risk factors of seromas

Seromas are mainly caused by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid or serum in a pocket under the skin.
