Hello! Thank you for the query. It is hard to answer your question not knowing what kind of hernia was repaired and how large is the Serbia. Was there mesh inserted? Seroma is usually caused by abdominal tissue (peritoneum) presence under the skin in soft tissues. Peritoneum is a kind of tissue which produces fluid. Usually Serbia goes away by itself after few months. However, if it is large or there is an infection present inside (especially if the mes were inserted), sometimes another surgery is necessary. CT is good idea. Hope this will help. Regards.
