What is normal concerning hematoma after surgery?

Answer by  ddaguno (123)

Blood vessels get cut during surgery that's why a person may have hematoma afterwards. These are blood bruises and in most cases they resolve spontaneously without causing problems. Sometimes it can get infected so you might need antibiotics for treatment. If the hematoma is severe it may require surgical evacuation or drainage.

Hematoma after a surgery is the accumulation of blood in the surgical site and surrounding tissues due to damage to the surrounding blood vessels. Usually hematoma gets dissolved by itself. For severe hematoma, surgery is done to reopen the wound and drain out the accumulated blood. Then the blood vessels are clamped. Anti-inflammatory, analgesics and blood thinning medications are given.
