  2. Breast hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_hematoma

    Hematoma can also be a consequence of breast surgery, usually due to post-operative bleeding. Bleeding may occur shortly after the intervention or a number of days later and can occur for cosmetic surgery (for example breast reduction or breast enhancement) and for non-cosmetic surgery (for example lymph node removal, lumpectomy, or mastectomy).

  3. Hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematoma

    A hematoma, also spelled haematoma, or blood suffusion is a localized bleeding outside of blood vessels, due to either disease or trauma including injury or surgery [1] and may involve blood continuing to seep from broken capillaries.

  4. Epidural hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidural_hematoma

    Epidural hematoma is a surgical emergency. Delayed surgery can result in permanent brain damage or death. Without surgery, death usually follows, due to enlargement of the hematoma, causing a brain herniation. [3] As with other types of intracranial hematomas, the blood almost always must be removed surgically to reduce the pressure on the ...

    Postoperative hematomas are a cutaneous condition characterized by a collection of blood below the skin, and result as a complication following surgery. [1]

  6. Subdural hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdural_hematoma

    Treatment of a subdural hematoma depends on its size and rate of growth. Some small subdural hematomas can be managed by careful monitoring as the blood clot is eventually resorbed naturally. Others can be treated by inserting a small catheter through a hole drilled through the skull and sucking out the hematoma. [citation needed]

  7. Perianal hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perianal_hematoma

    Management of thrombosed perianal hematoma has been poorly studied as of 2018. [5] If diagnosed within the first few hours of presentation, the pooling blood may be evacuated using a syringe. Once the blood has clotted, removal by this method is no longer possible and the clot can be removed via an incision over the lump under local anesthetic.

  8. Rectus sheath hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_sheath_hematoma

    The hematoma may be caused by either rupture of the epigastric artery or by a muscular tear. Several factors have been identified as predisposing risks for rectus sheath hematoma, including coughing, straining, exercise, hypertension, obesity, previous abdominal surgery, subcutaneous injection, trauma and anticoagulant therapy.

  9. Bruise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruise

    A bruise, also known as a contusion, is a type of hematoma of tissue, [3] the most common cause being capillaries damaged by trauma, causing localized bleeding that extravasates into the surrounding interstitial tissues. Most bruises occur close enough to the epidermis such that the bleeding causes a visible discoloration.
