Background: Abdominal surgery remains a cornerstone in the management of various medical conditions, ranging from elective procedures to emergency interventions. Among the pivotal considerations in the postoperative management of these cases is the utilization of prophylactic drainage, a practice aimed at reducing the risk of complications such as intra-abdominal collections and infections. Materials & Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at R.D. GARDI MEDICAL COLLEGE, UJJAIN, from February 2022 to January 2023.The study population comprised 100 patients admitted to the Surgery ward for abdominal surgeries,The study participants divided into two groups: Drainage Group (80 patients) and Non-Drainage Group (20 patients). The Drainage Group was further subdivided into Tube Drain (70 patients) and Corrugated Drain (10 patients). Results: Among the drained patients, post-operative pyrexia and wound infection incidences are higher compared to the undrained group. Notably, a significant difference in post-operative hospital stay duration is not observed between the two groups, although variability is noted within the drainage group. Conclusion: The study underscores that while drains may be associated with higher rates of post-operative pyrexia and wound infection, they do not significantly impact the duration of post-operative hospital stay. These findings suggest a need for cautious consideration of drain placement in abdominal surgeries, weighing potential benefits against the risk of complications. Further research may elucidate optimal strategies for drain management in abdominal surgical contexts.
