What is a Post Surgical Hematoma?
A Post Surgical Hematoma is a pocket of blood that gathers in a post-surgical site. Often times it is a necessity to drain a hematoma.
While it is very undesirable, it is usually non-life threatening.
Let’s learn more, but feel free to join the conversation, and add your own experiences with post surgical Hematoma’s.
Before completing a procedure, a surgeon makes sure that all bleeding vessels are closed and cauterized before closing a wound.
If the cauterization fails, it allows vessels to bleed and create a resevoir of blood surrounding the site of the operation, causing a hematoma after surgery. You can see many examples in the videos below.

Post Surgical Hematoma’s usually dissolve within 48 hours
More complicated hematomas may require additional surgery by re-opening the wound to drain the resevoir of blood and clamping down on the bleeding vessels.
