Rare complication of skin necrosis after endoscopic debridement and cutaneo-fascial suture for a massive Morel-Lavallée lesion in Korea: a case report

A Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a pathologic fluid collection within an abnormally formed space, resulting from internal degloving injury between the muscle fascia and subcutaneous fat layer. Due to its resistance conservative treatments such as drainage or compression dressing, various therapeutic methods have been developed for MLL. However, no standardized guidelines currently exist. Recently, endoscopic debridement cutaneo-fascial suture (EDCS) has introduced treatment of MLL, particularly large lesions resistant approaches. While this procedure known be effective, limited reports are available on potential complications. The authors present case skin necrosis following EDCS massive
