Introduction-Drains usage has been used in surgery for many years to prevent the accumulation of bodily fluids and improving body function. The first known use of drains was shown by Hippocrates who applied hollow tubes for the management of empyema.Aims & Objectives: Study of surgical drains and its neccesasity in elective abdominal surgeries Methods-All the abdominal surgery cases of both sexes admitted in surgical ward through OPD basis requiring elective abdominal surgeries for various abdominal pathologies will be evaluated with detailed history. It is a cross-sectional study.Discussion-Drains are associated with higher morbidity & mortality rates, furthermore have indirect effect on the post-operative recovery period of the patients. Conclusion-Drain use may lead to similar wound infections, need for additional open procedures for postoperative complications and quality of life scores versus when compared with no drain use. Result-Use of prophylactic drain in abdominal surgeries shows no advantage in helping in reduction of postoperative complications or any other surgical benefit for the same.

“…In recent years, some authors have proposed transesophageal endoscopic drainage in treating mediastinitis 5,15 . We suggest that surgical drainage would be much more appropriate than transesophageal endoscopic drainage because the mediastinal contamination of patients with foreign body ingestion is more serious than those with perforations from other etiologies.…”

“…In recent years, some authors have proposed transesophageal endoscopic drainage in treating mediastinitis. 5,15 We suggest that surgical drainage would be much more appropriate than transesophageal endoscopic drainage because the mediastinal contamination of patients with foreign body ingestion is more serious than those with perforations from other etiologies. For example, 4 patients who underwent esophageal internal drainage initially had to change to anterolateral cervical-superior mediastinal drainage later because of a poor drainage effect.…”
