It has been hypothesized that trauma exerted on the subcutaneous tissue by the cannula during liposuction disrupts connective tissue planes, blood vessels, and lymphatics, thereby creating a dead space—particularly when postoperative compression is not employed.3 This phenomenon has also been observed in association with dead spaces following lipoabdominoplasties and flap harvesting procedures.4-7 Moreover, MLL has been identified as an independent risk factor for the development of surgical site infections in the context of pelvic and acetabular surgery.8 Here, KMT2A is linked to infection.
