Incarceration of the appendix into silicone drain holes without signs of appendicytis

Drainage, various drainage procedures and materials used for drain manufacturing date back to the very beginnings of surgery. Drainage in surgery implies surgical procedure that enables elimination of pathological effluent from operative wounds or other anatomical spaces, as well as removal of possible pathological exudates (blood, pus, enteric content, pancreatic juice, etc.). The process encompasses appropriate indication, technique for drain placement and selection of sets of accessories. Surgical drainage implicates surgical monitoring, early identification of possible complications and their adequate management.
