Abstract
In total, 60 patients were included in the prospective study, with 40 receiving a drain based on evidence‑supported, case‑based criteria. The non‑drain group exhibited lower pain scores, earlier rates of mobilization, lower levels of post-operative nausea and vomiting, and shorter hospital stays. By contrast, patients presenting with complications experienced a delayed post‑operative recovery, which may have been associated with the use of the drain. Although adverse effects are common, the application of specific criteria may aid clinical decision making. In conclusion, the present study aimed to provide a criteria‑based approach for individualising drain placement in gastrectomy. Notably, the findings of the present study are comparable with those of existing studies; thus, the suggested criteria offer a structured and reliable approach to the use of drain placement following gastrectomy in surgical practice.
