This is due to the fact that the scrotum tends to swell after the surgery. [11] This swelling can cause discomfort or pain that does not easily go away. [11] Prescription medications are often given to help the patient recover from the surgery. [11] Regular medical checkups can help a doctor to look out for any type of hematocele. [11]
Postoperative hematomas are a cutaneous condition characterized by a collection of blood below the skin, and result as a complication following surgery. [1]

After bone fracture, blood cells accumulate adjacent to the injury site. Soon after fracture, blood vessels constrict, stopping further bleeding. Within a few hours, the extravascular blood cells form a clot called a hematoma [5] that acts as a template for callus formation.
A seroma is usually caused by surgery. Seromas are particularly common after breast surgery [3] (e.g., mastectomy), [4] abdominal surgery, and reconstructive surgery. It can also be seen after neck surgery, [1] thyroid and parathyroid surgery, [5] and hernia repair. [2] The larger the surgical intervention, the more likely that seromas form.
The swelling develops gradually 12–72 hours after delivery, although it may be noted immediately after delivery in severe cases. Subgaleal hematoma growth is insidious, as it spreads across the whole calvaria and may not be recognized for hours to days. If enough blood accumulates, a visible fluid wave may be seen.
A perianal hematoma, identified by the typical blue tinge under the skin (to the left in the above image) The symptoms of a perianal hematoma can present over a short period of time. Pain, varying from mild to severe, [3] will occur as the skin surrounding the rupture expands due to pressure. This pain will usually last even after the blood has ...
Heart function often recovers very quickly after pericardiectomy is performed, [8] although the surgery itself can cause reduced cardiac output in the short term. [4] After surgery, many patients will have a chest drain to remove pericardial fluid. [2] Hospital recovery takes several days, with surgical suture removed after a week. [2]
