Summary
This study looked at 141 people who had pancreatic surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy). It compared removing surgical drains early (4 days after surgery) versus the usual time (10-15 days). The goal was to see if early removal reduces surgical site infections. Only patients without a pancreatic fistula on day 3 were included. The study found that early drain removal may lower infection rates.
