Drains Are Not Necessary in the Majority of Robotic Urologic Procedures.
2021
Abdominal drain use is a common practice after urologic procedures involving urinary tract violation with the intention of externalizing potential urine leaks and preventing urinomas. Drains may alternatively be placed to detect bleeding or bowel injury, prevent hematomas or lymphoceles, or for other reasons equally lacking any evidence showing benefits. In general, the practice of placing abdominal drains in urology is based on dogma and learned habits.
