[Local effects and changes in wound drainage in the free peritoneal cavity].
In a prospective randomised study 30 mongrel rabbits received two standard colon-resections. Three types of drains were tested: (latex-rubber-) Penrose-drains, rubbertube- and silicontube-drains, which were placed in the lower abdomen. As a closed drainage-system the extraperitoneal tip of the drain was placed in a closed subcutis-pocket. One of the two colon-anastomoses also was drained. The findings were recorded on the 7th postoperative day. A single mechanic alteration was found, an ulcer caused by a silicon-drain, that pushed against the abdominal wall. The other signs of mechanic irritation were microscopically unspecified inflammatory reactions to the foreign body drain. There was no ascending infection caused by the drain. All infections came from complications of the colon resections. In contrast to common opinions the drains in the lower abdomen showed no adhesions to the abdominal wall or organs. Only the entrance of the drain into the peritoneum and the cotton-gaze of Penrose-drains showed in nearly all cases adhesions. The large amount of adhesions to the anastomosis-drains came from complications of the colon-anastomoses. As a cause of material, rubber- and latex-rubber-drains showed large fibrin-clots on their surfaces. 7 days after the operation only about 20% of the drains had sufficient function. The rest was occluded by fibrin-clots in the lumen of the drain or the cotton-gaze. Over all there is no difference in changes and effects of the three different types of drains, but silicon as material showed advantages.
