Prophylactic Drain Versus No Drain in Curative Gastric Cancer Surgery-A Randomized Controlled Trial

© 2022. The Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract..

BACKGROUND: The adoption of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols has questioned the placement of prophylactic drain after curative gastrectomy. A 2015 Cochrane meta-analysis did not find convincing evidence of routine drain placement in gastrectomy, but the quality of evidence was questioned. The present study compared short-term outcomes of prophylactic drain placement versus no drain in gastrectomy.

METHODOLOGY: The study is a prospective, non-inferiority, and randomized controlled trial. Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the stomach undergoing curative gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was included in the study. Randomization was done intra-operatively. The primary outcome was a postoperative hospital stay. Secondary outcomes included the return of bowel function, achieving adequate enteral feeding, re-surgery, morbidity, and mortality.

RESULTS: One hundred fifty-seven patients were registered, of which 108 patients underwent curative surgery, and were randomized to 54 patients in each group. The median age was 55 years (range: 23-78) and 58.5 years (range: 35-80) in the drain and no drain group. No significant difference was noticed in primary or secondary outcomes in both groups.

CONCLUSION: Avoid placing a prophylactic drain is not inferior to drain placement following gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for stomach adenocarcinoma. So, routine prophylactic drain placement can be avoided.
