Abstract

Abdominal drainage is a key technique in abdominal surgery, primarily aimed at removing fluid, gas, foreign bodies, and necrotic tissue from the peritoneal cavity, reducing the risk of infection, and promoting recovery. The placement and strategy of abdominal drainage should be decided based on individual circumstances to minimize the risk of complications and accelerate the patient's recovery. In wartime, abdominal drainage is mainly used to control intraperitoneal hemorrhage and intraperitoneal infection. This consensus aims to enhance understanding of the application and management of abdominal drainage during both peacetime and wartime, with the goal of improving drainage therapy outcomes and patient safety.
