SCARRING, POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
The small sample size of our study invariably limits the statistical significance of the results. No significant correlation could be established between the rates of postoperative complications and drains. Larger sample size and multicentric studies can be carried out to further evaluate the necessity of drain placement.In conclusion, this prospective research was carried out to evaluate, collect further evidence, and gain additional knowledge on the significance of routine usage of the drain. We observed that post-operative pain during the first 24 hours was significantly more common in the drain group. The other significant observations were the drain group’s longer duration of hospitalization and post-operative scarring. Since earlier discharge is made possible for patients without drain, it always reduces the patient’s hospitalization costs. Additionally, patients are extremely concerned about post-surgical scars after any surgical operation. Lesser scarring is associated with better treatment outcomes.
