Subcutaneous Pseudocyst caused by Incisional Hernia Repair with Non-absorbable Mesh
Keywords:

Introduction: Subcutaneous pseudocysts are serous, liquid and sterile collections with a diameter above 10 cm.
Objective: To present the clinical case of a patient with a subcutaneous pseudocyst secondary to an incisional hernioplasty with non-absorbable mesh.
Clinic Case: A 36-year-old female patient with morbid obesity and a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, chronic iron deficiency anemia and multiple abdominal surgeries came to the clinic with pain in a giant, medium, infraumbilical incisional hernia. Incisional hernioplasty with placement of supra-aponeurotic mesh was performed. In the second month after surgery, she consulted for an increase in volume in the wound. Complementary tests were performed and a subcutaneous pseudocyst was diagnosed. Initially, the procedure was drained with a pigtail. When this line of treatment failed due to infection of the pseudocyst, complete excision was performed with placement of suction drains.
Conclusion: The subcutaneous pseudocyst is a rare entity due to its very low incidence and the difficulties in its diagnosis.
