Anyone experience a persistent Lat Flap seroma?

SpringFever2011

I was wondering if anyone has experience a persistent seroma after Lat Flap reconstruction?  

I had a BM w/lat flap in Feb .... once my drains were removed, I developed a seroma.  From mid march until july, I had it drained every 2-3 weeks.  

 Mid July I had two sclerosing procedures done and had a catheter drain two weeks.  within 24hrs after having the  catheter/drain  removed, I got very sick - high fever etc.  and was admitted to the hospital (5 days) with a staph infection near my spine.   I currently have a drain in my back .... (its been a week and a half) and my drain vols are still on the high side.    My PS mentioned that I may need to have the seroma surgically repaired.   

I was wondering if anyone has had this surgery ..... and what to expect.   From what I understand it involves re-opening the incision (which is at least 12 inches long) ......  I was wondering if this is an outpatient procedure???
