“…The use of drainage in surgery dates back to the Hippocrates era in 400 BC, when it was recorded as placing drains in surgical wounds for drainage, and to this day, drainage for wound effusion remains as a fundamental principle in the surgical treatment of such conditions [ 8 ]. Postoperative drainage reduces hematoma formation and prevents incisional infection, but it also carries the risk of infection [ 9 ]. Many scholars have also conducted literature researches to address this issue.…”

“…Bacterial culture of these drained fluids has been investigated as a potential method for predicting SSIs, 2 but its sensitivity was poor. 3 The concentrations of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are increased in patients with SSIs. 4 In a pilot study, IL-6 in fluid drained immediately after neck dissection facilitated highly sensitive SSI detection.…”

“…Tubings and tips are not suitable for routine procedures as they are not representative of the intra-abdominal situation [62]. Evidence from culturing drain tips or drain fluids in the early diagnosis of surgical site infections, in clean or clean contaminated surgery, found that while the negative predictive value is very high (99%), the positive predictive value is very low (11%) [63].…”
