Subcutaneous fat thickness (TSF) is linked to higher postoperative seroma risk following laparoscopic hernioplasty. In a study of 229 male patients, factors like longer hernia duration, larger defects, and TSF ≥26.0 mm were associated with increased seroma risk. TSF ≥26.0 mm had an odds ratio of 7.033 for seroma development. TSF could serve as a valuable prognostic factor for seroma post-surgery, enhancing decision-making processes.
