The aim of the study is to determine wether subcutaneus suction drain (type redon-drain) protect against surgical side infection by laparotomy in general surgery.
If subcutan drains inserted during wound closudsure after laparotomy avoid subcutaneous haematoma and seromas by suction, these drains shout protect against surgical site infections. This is the ratio why such drain are in use in many countries. To test whether this hypothesis is true or not we pland this study.
