    Stephen Foster has suffered an inflammatory reaction to his recent hernia operation.

    Fluid has been drained off and has reappeared. The procedure will be repeated today before a final decision is taken on next steps.

    Without any improvement to his situation he will remain a spectator for the remainder of the season, however there is a slim chance he could play should the procedure prove successful.

    nasty !!

    <h3>Complications Associated With Hernia Surgery</h3><div class="text12"></div><div class="text12"><h4>Seroma</h4>A seroma is a collection of serum in a surgical wound (Figure 37). It contains leukocytes and may also contain some red blood cells. The size of the collection relates to the amount of dissection done between tissue planes and the amount of dead space remaining in the wound. Seromas form in herniorrhaphy wounds done without mesh but with greater frequency following mesh repairs, due to both tissue trauma and foreign body reactions.<sup>[43]</sup> Tissue trauma causes a reabsorption imbalance of fluid that escapes from damaged venous and lymphatic capillaries. The foreign body reaction can be measured by histologic examination for macrophages and giant cell formation.

    Typically, a seroma presents on the third or fourth postoperative day. The patient calls frantically worried that a hernia has abruptly recurred. When examined, the wound appears raised but is not inflamed or tender. The mass is fluctuant and the fluid ballotable. Ultrasonography confirms the clinical diagnosis. Treatment consists primarily of observation and expectation. Aspiration is rarely necessary, and in most cases the seroma will completely reabsorb in 2 to 3 weeks. Early aspiration is futile, as the fluid will reaccumulate within a day or 2, and each needle puncture risks the chance of introducing infection into the culture-rich medium. Conflicting reports exist as to whether mesh increases the incidence of seroma formation. </p></div><a href="http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/420354_9" />

    lets hope it isn`t then. Sounds from todays report that there is a chance, however slim, of him playing again this season as opposed to none yesterday.
