What Are The Possibilities Of Recurrence Of Hematoma Post Its Removal?
My one year old baby got his hydrocelectomy yesterday. He is in lots of pain due to a large hematoma in his scrotum. Doctor recommend 2nd surgery to solve the issues. Can hematoma developed again after the 2nd surgery? Was told its a simple procedure but turn out more complicated than i thought. Thanks for your time.

Hi...sometimes a hematoma can recur. I agree with your suspicion that hematoma can recur. But that is not all. If I were your pediatrician I would work up for bleeding disorder to find out - why at the first instance the kid has developed internal bleeding like this and hematoma.
I suggest doing - PT, aPTT, Platelet counts.
For further testing I would also recommend doing a - mixing study.
