| Abstract |
Seroma is a well established complication of the repair of major abdominal wall hernias, occasionally requiring aspiration and reoperation. Medical talc seromadesis (MTS) has been described in the literature. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of MTS on seroma formation after onlay repair of incisional hernia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 June 2013.
All research outputs
#14,626,198
of 22,711,242 outputs
Outputs from Hernia
#598
of 1,101 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#113,155
of 192,923 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hernia
#7
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,711,242 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,101 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 192,923 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
