A prospective randomized controlled trial of subcutaneous passive drainage for the prevention of superficial surgical site infections in open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery
2014
Introduction
A number of studies have evaluated the effects of subcutaneous drainage during digestive surgery. All of the previous studies assessed the usefulness of active-suctioning drain, including two randomized controlled studies which found no benefit for the placement of active-suctioning drains in digestive surgery. The utility of passive drainage has not been evaluated previously. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous passive drainage system for preventing surgical site infections during major colorectal surgery.
