Abstract

Drain placement after abdominal surgery continues to be a standard practice. However in recent years there has been reluctance amongst surgeons to drain the peritoneal cavity liberally thereby leading to a multitude of septic complications. A brief review of the physical dynamics of intraperitoneal spaces is presented with a view to improve the practice of optimum drain placement.
