Successful Treatment of Morel-Lavallée Lesion of the Back With Transcutaneous Transmyofascial Bolstered Progressive Tension Suturing.

The authors describe their experience in successfully treating an isolated Morel-Lavallée lesion of the lumbar spine after delayed presentation. In addition to thorough irrigation, debridement, and pseudo-capsulectomy, surgical management included transcutaneous transmyofascial bolstering with a progressive tension suturing technique to close the cavity over drains in a "quilting" fashion. This was followed by 6 days of incisional wound vacuum treatment and 13 days of drainage through 2 Jackson-Pratt drains.
