What is surgical emphasis?
Surgical emphasis, sometimes called tissue emphysema, is a condition in which air is captured in the subcutaneous area of the skin. The captured air can cause discomfort along with some significant symptoms that usually make the condition identifying. In most cases, surgery is not dangerous and solves in itself. In cases where the problem is, there are some treatment options that the patient may discuss with the doctor.
