Abstract
|
|
|
|
The Morel-Lavallee lesion is a collection of serous fluid that develops after closed degloving injuries and after surgical procedures particularly in the pelvis and abdomen. It is a persistent seroma and is usually resistant to conservative methods of treatment such as percutaneous drainage and compression. Various methods of curative treatment have been reported in the literature, such as application of fibrin sealant, doxycycline or alcohol sclerodhesis. We present a case of a huge recurrent Morel-Lavallee lesion in the lower back and buttock region that was treated with quilting sutures, fibrin sealant and compression, with a review of the literature.
