Meningioma surgery after the old subcutaneous fluid, you can local pressure bandage, if the amount of subcutaneous fluid did not reduce, you can consider subcutaneous drainage.
Subcutaneous effusion at the wound after meningioma surgery is a relatively common complication of brain surgery. If the amount of fluid is relatively small, localized compression bandage can be used, and regular review and observation of fluid changes can be carried out at any time for the next step of treatment. If the amount of fluid decreases, the pressure bandage can be continued until the subcutaneous fluid is fully absorbed.
If the amount of subcutaneous fluid does not decrease, or even more and more fluid accumulates, it is necessary to consider subcutaneous drainage, burying subcutaneous drainage tubes, external drainage devices, and drainage. At the same time, local pressure bandage should be applied to the wound, and antibiotics such as cephalosporins should be used to prevent infection.
It is recommended that patients with such symptoms actively seek medical attention and follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid self-medication.
