Fallopian Tube Herniation through the Drain Site: A Rare Case Report

Intra-abdominal drains have been used since long to prevent intra-abdominal collection, and detect any anastomotic leaks. Their use is not without complications. We report a case of a 24-year-old female, who presented with fallopian tube herniation through the drain site that was kept during cesarean section. The drain was kept in view of hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels syndrome. On 5th post-operative day, the patient presented with this herniation, and she was managed appropriately. By presenting this case report, we aim to reduce such complications in future. Drains are used to drain body fluids in certain circumstances but do not prevent infection or promote wound healing. Drainage tubes are not a substitute to a good surgical technique.
