Reducing Seroma Incidence in Endoscopic-Assisted Repair

Introducing quilting in endoscopic-assisted repair of ventral hernias and diastasis recti significantly reduces postoperative seromas, a retrospective study of 176 patients revealed a lower incidence of type B seromas requiring multiple punctures or reoperation in the quilting group. Although operation duration slightly increased, this technique adaptation demonstrates efficacy in minimizing seroma occurrence and severity.
