Retained broken wound drains: a preventable complication.

D J Hak1.   

Abstract

A simple technique is described to avoid inadvertent suturing of a drain during wound closure. Drains that have been inadvertently sutured frequently break during removal, leaving a retained fragment in the wound. Use of the technique described herein will prevent this potentially avoidable complication.
