description We report the case of a 41-year-old man with a Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) that developed an infection. The patient was initially treated with intravenous antibiotics, but the infection persisted. He was then treated with outpatient cleansing and retention sutures, which resulted in successful wound healing. This case report demonstrates the efficacy of outpatient cleansing and retention sutures for the treatment of MLL infection. This treatment modality is less expensive than inpatient treatment, and it allows the patient to return to their normal activities sooner.
