【 摘 要 】

Seroma formation in a knee arthroplasty surgery is a rare complication. When seromas occur, they act as a nidus for bacterial growth and create an optimal environment for surgical site infections. In this case report, a 52-year-old woman presented with a seroma after multiple revision operations on the left knee. Owing to multiple failures of standard irrigation and drainage procedures to resolve the seroma, an orthoplastic colleague was consulted. Over five-and-a-half months, the patient underwent multiple procedures that failed to treat the seroma. However, in a final exploratory procedure, 3000 mg of urinary bladder matrix and negative pressure wound vacuum were placed. Seven months after the intervention, the patient had complete resolution.
