Iatrogenic retention of surgical drains following drain entrapment and breakage is a never event and preventable complication. The traditional approach for removing a fractured drain from the intra-peritoneal cavity involves exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. However, minimal access surgery has been more popular retrieval method for retained surgical items from peritoneal and extraperitoneal cavities over the last few decades. We report a case of 32-year-old woman with fractured pelvic drain post-caesarean section. The patient developed abdominal distension, generalised tenderness, absent bowel sounds, bilious vomiting, and high-grade pyrexia. The mechanical obstruction was ruled out by computed tomography scan and the drain was tried to remove but the tube snapped, leaving about a quarter of its length. The drain remnant was retrieved using a non-invasive, inexpensive interventional radiology technique. We could not find any report in the literature describing this innovative approach for retrieving a fractured pelvic drain.

“…This was a single incident, but it is important to highlight that any forceful manipulation during drain removal through either the abdominal wall or vaginal vault should be avoided. A similar complication was a transabdominal drain slipping down into the pelvic cavity through the drainage tract [ 13 ]. This usually occurs when the drain is incompletely secured or a secured thread is loosened or cut accidently.…”

Infected pelvic hematoma is a serious complication of hysterectomies. Pelvic drainage can help reduce complications. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of vaginal vault drainage in patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign gynecological diseases. MethodsPatients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and pelvic drain insertion for benign gynecological diseases between January 2008 and December 2015 were enrolled retrospectively in the study. They were grouped according to drain insertion sites, that is, through the abdomen (group 1) and vaginal vault (group 2). The postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. ResultsA total of 504 women were included. No significant differences were observed in the prevalence of postoperative fever, readmission, and reoperation between the two groups. ConclusionGiven the discomfort associated with holding and removing the abdominal drain, inserting a closed pelvic gravity drain through the vaginal vault appears to be a feasible alternative to an abdominal drain.

Retained drains are an infrequent and usually avoidable postsurgical complication. There are few reports in the contemporary literature regarding minimally invasive techniques to remove retained postsurgical drains. We present a novel technique for the removal of a retained deep pelvic Jackson-Pratt drain by means of a fluoroscopically guided transurethral endoscopic technique with minimal CO(2) pneumoperitoneum performed safely through a newly transected urethral stump under local anesthesia. The use of CO(2) pneumoperitoneum in place of saline irrigation is less likely to be associated with any untoward postoperative complications. This novel and effective technique will serve as a useful adjunct to the minimally invasive management of retained pelvic drains in postoperative patients who have undergone cystectomy and/or hysterectomy.
