The in usually clear or straw colored. generally does not require any treatment; it disappears by absorption body tissues within few weeks. Large seromas may repeated aspiration. To avoid developing surgery do minimal and dead space formation. We operated 400 cases modified Lichtenstein tension-free procedure NICH (Nigam’s inverted curtain hernioplasty) our incidence was 1.5% against international 7% which real low incidence. have discussed ways formation open hernioplasty.
