Such anchored tube through the drain is a rare condition. To our knowledge this is the first case reported in the history. Though, other complications of drain getting entangled with intra abdominal structures, bleeding, intestinal loop strangulation or site evisceration have been reported.3,4Some cases may have been under-reported for the fear of medico-legal complaints.5, 6
In previous reported cases ,bowel loop and omentum were stuck in the drain tube.3,5 Also, Richter-type hernia was formed after the loop of bowel was caught in knotted drain tube.7 In this case, fallopian tube got stuck. Salpingectomy was done in right side but drain was kept in left side. It might not have been stuck if the drain was kept on same side of salpingectomy. Delayed intervention might have lead to trauma or necrosis of the fallopian tube. Furthermore the drain must not be pulled vigorously to avoid the trauma. Drain should only be kept when absolutely indicated. Otherwise, it’s wise to avoid drain placement to avoid such complication.
