Abstract
Seroma formation is a common postoperative complication in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Usually, it is a self-limited phenomenon, but occasionally it may cause significant problems.
Many trials we done to reduce the incidence of seroma following abdominoplasty, one of these methods was the use of fibrin sealant.
Fibrin glue (FG) is used to control bleeding, to adhere tissues together, and to seal tissue defects.
The FG preparation is reviewed in order to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the different products reported and to summarize the clinical applications. It is concluded that additional studies are needed to fully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of fibrinogen concentrated using cryoprecipitation and chemical precipitation and that specific advantages exist for fibrin sealant use.
In this study we compared the incidence of seroma in abdominoplasty with and without using the fibrin sealant.
Also the different periods needed for the drains removal were analyzed.
also the amount of postoperative fluid collection before its removal. Evaluation of complications regarding the use of fibrin glue.
Fourty patient were divided randomly into 2 groups each of them were subdivided into 3 subgroups.
Group1: abdominoplasty will be done without using the fibrin sealant.
Group 2: traditional abdominoplasty will be done using the fibrin sealant.
The groups were compared regarding The collected data including :the number of patient in each group,use of fibrin sealant, age, height ,weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), weight of resected apron, amount secreted in the drains (drainage total)and drainage in every day and, the time needed for drains removal, tobacco use.
The data of different groups were compared together and the final results were compared to other international studies.
