Core Tip	In this article, the authors investigated whether a subcutaneous penrose drain would decrease the superficial surgical site infection rate in elective colorectal surgery. Although penrose drain were not observed to significantly reduce superficial surgical site infection, there tended to be a reduced risk of superficial surgical site infection in the high superficial surgical site infection risk group(depth of subcutaneous tissue was over 20 mm).
