title: [Rehabilitation of Mikulicz's drain. An irreplaceable procedure in difficult drainage].
abstract: Following technical consideration on the use of Mikulicz's drain, with emphasis on introduction and irrigation with hydrogen peroxide, the authors describe its advantages: wide drainage, extraperito-nealization of the septic focus and removal without general anaesthesia. Such advantages clearly overcome the drawbacks which are now reduced by a strict and well codified application of this type of drain: prolonged purulent discharge, fistulae and incisional hernias are rare. Nowadays, the Mikulicz's drain is mainly indicated in diffuse peritonitis (notably post-operative) difficult bleeding control, pelvectomy and hepatectomy.
