Abstract: Background: Prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSI) is of great interest to any practicing surgeon. Our task after surgery is to prevent and thereby to decrease the adverse effects of wound complications. Wound seroma, hematoma and SSI are the most common complications. A number of methods have been used from time to time to decrease these complications. Among many methods to control and prevent SSI, subcutaneous suction drains play a prominent role by draining the debris or serum and removing the empty space below the wound. In this article, the role of subcutaneous drains in open laparotomy wounds will be evaluated. Conclusion: Placement of subcutaneous suction drains in patients undergoing open laparotomy helps in decreasing the chances of wound complications, decreasing the hospital stay and aids in faster recovery.
