Abstract
This chapter reviews the types and usual applications of surgical drains. The indications for “routine” drainage are under continuous review, and with the availability of percutaneous drainage techniques, fewer and fewer drains are placed during surgery. Nonetheless, it is important to know what options are available when surgical drainage is required.
