What this trial measures

  • Patient preference of surgical drain placement1 week post surgery

    Patients will complete a survey about their experience with the pertinent securement method/drain site - questions are essay style without a score or range In the survey we created the level of negative factors (pulling, tugging, pain) as well as positive (ease of drain care, ease of personal hygiene) will be on a 1-100 scale. Therefore each side will get a conglomerate score of the following: Total score = positive scores (average) - negative scores (average) This result will be tabulated for each patient and used as a group analysis for preference. (Average scores for each side from all patients compared to one another.)
