Drainage, following radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection to prevent postoperative lymphocyst formation and surgical morbidity, is controversial. To study the clinical significance of drainage, 253 patients were registered and 234 patients were randomised into two arms. In one arm (n=117) postoperative drainage was performed, in the other arm (n=117) no drains were inserted. In both arms closure of the peritoneum of the operating field was omitted. The main exclusion criteria were blood loss of more than 3000ml during surgery or persistent oozing at the end of the operation. Clinical and ultrasound or CT-scan evaluation was done at one and 12 months postoperatively. The median follow-up amounted to 13.3 months. No difference in the incidence of postoperative lymphocyst formation or postoperative complications was found between the two study arms. The late (12 months) incidence of symptomatic lymphocysts was 3.4% (drains: 5.9%; no drains: 0.9%). The difference showed a p-value of 0.06 in Fisher’s Exact test. The operating time was related to the occurrence of postoperative lymphocyst formation. It was concluded that drains can be safely omitted following radical hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection without pelvic reperitonisation in patients without excessive bleeding during or oozing at the end of surgery.
