| Core Tip |
This review supports the beneficial effects of subcutaneous drains after abdominal surgery. Subcutaneous drains may not prevent seroma formation. Most studies removed drains within 3 d regardless of the amount of fluid discharge. The timing of drain removal may affect the clinical outcome. Nevertheless, subcutaneous drains can prevent surgical site infections and shorten the length of hospital stays after abdominal surgery. |
