AB200. SOH26AB_0106. Retrieval of surgical drain and repair of incisional hernia 9 years after robotic surgery: a case report and review of literature

Shadin Abushara, Yasir Naseem, Paddy O’Malley, Aisling Hogan

Abstract

All surgery can result in complications, some more frequent than others. Unintentional retention of surgical drains is rare, and patients may present with infection, abscess, fistula, or chronic inflammation. The natural history of long-standing retained drains without clinical sequelae is not well described. The rate of incisional hernia after robotic prostatectomy is 1.5%.
