RESUMO
Based on the experience with 69 patients submitted to abdominoplasty, the authors compare the use of capillary tubes, suction drains and not using drains in the postoperative period as to the effectiveness in preventing hematomas and seromas under the abdominal flap. They also study the association of these fluid collections with known risk factors. They describe the indications and surgical technique employed in their cases and compare results obtained with data available in literature.
