مقایسه عوارض کوله سیستکتومی لاپاروسکوپیک با و بدون استفاده از درن در موارد کوله سیستیت مزمن بدون عارضه

Introduction: The routine use of drains in uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) has still been controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of applying drains in uncomplicated LC. Methods: This study is a randomized prospective interventional study without blindness. After removing gallbladder, 60 patients were randomized to have corrugated drain positioned in the subhepatic space and 60 patients were randomized to have no drain. Patients were assessed for abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and the length of hospital stay 24 hr after the surgery. Then, they were assessed for biloma two weeks after the surgery. Results: No significant difference was observed in regard with nausea, vomiting and biloma in either group. However, abdominal pain (p-value: 0.001) and the length of hospital stay (p-value : <o.oo1) were significantly higher in the group with drain. Conclusion: The present study findings did not reveal any advantages to the routine use of drain in LC.
