“…9 Of all the few cases reported of drain site hernias different contents have been found, which include small intestine, appendix, colon, omentum, gall bladder, ovary, fallopian tube. [4][5][6][7] Out of these most common was small bowel loops and appendix. [9][10][11] Omentum was found as a content in very few cases as reported by Bakka et al and Samarawickrama et al 12,13 There are cases in literature found to have drain site hernia with small bowel and omentum as content but none of the case is found to have bilateral drain site hernia.…”

“…3 The contents of drain site hernia are found to be small intestine, appendix, colon, omentum, gall bladder, ovary, and fallopian tube. [4][5][6][7] Though rare knowledge of such complication should be known, as the patient can present with obstruction, due to strangulation of contents of hernia, so that they can be identified early. We encountered a case of bilateral drain site hernia having small bowel and omentum as a content.…”

Use of abdominal drain is a tradition used since a long time. These is generally done to prevent or drain any post-operative intra-abdominal collection aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality and early recovery of patient. But drain has its own complication such as drain site infection, drain site hernia. We encountered a case of bilateral drain site hernia in a 55 year old female who was previously operated for perforation peritonitis. Both herniae were repaired successfully with onlay meshplasty. Drain placement has various complications like drain site infection, adhesion's, intestinal erosion, bleeding, anastamotic rupture and drain site hernia. There is greater risk of hernia in patient with poor nutritional status, obesity, ascitis, severe abdominal infection or with persistent cough. It is better to avoid unnecessary placement of drain. If a drain is placed, its removal should be done as early as possible. It is better to close the defect after removal of drain.

“…In each of these reported cases the contents are different from case to case. Those contents reported in the literature include small intestine, appendix, colon, omentum, gallbladder, ovary, and fallopian tube [3] [9] [10] [11]. Out of these structures the most commonly herniated abdominal viscera through a drain site were small bowel loops and appendix that may lead to obstruction or strangulation subsequently [5] [7].…”

Abstract:-Drains are being used in abdominal surgery since Hippocrates time therapeutically and prohpylactically aiming to reduce morbidity and early recovery of patients. But these drains are not without complications. The complications range from simple drain site infection to drain site hernia of bowel leading to strangulation and necrosis. We report a case of drain site hernia (DSH) in a 47 year-old women who presented with obstructed large incisional hernia through a previous laparotomy scar. During surgery for the incisional hernia an incarcerated DSH was identified at her right iliac fossa region. Both herniae were repaired successfully and patient's recovery was uneventful. We reviewed the literature regarding the drain site hernia and other complications of abdominal drains. The article describes types of drains, their complications and predisposing factors for those complications and the steps to be taken for the prevention.
