Intraoperative hypertonic saline irrigation preventing seroma formation and reducing drain secretion in extended endoscopic hernia and linea alba reconstruction glue

ConclusionsIHSI enhance adhesion formation and reduce secretion rate in wide subcutaneous dissection space like in eEHLARglue, therefore enables early drain removal and prevent SF. As a result, reducing overall morbidity and hospitalization period, decreasing inconveniency and cost saving of multiple outpatient visits or additional surgery. This simple technique could be used in other potential postoperative SF surgeries. Further larger study with a longer follow up is advised.
