First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looked at 141 people who had pancreatic surgery to remove a tumor. Doctors wanted to see if taking out the surgical drains early (4 days after surgery) instead of waiting the usual 10-15 days would lower the chance of wound or belly infections. Patients who did not have a pancreatic leak were randomly assigned to early or standard drain removal, and infections were checked 30 days after surgery.
