Abstract
- A retained surgical drain in the operation site is a rare complication that may cause clinical problems and result in medical disputes. The discovery of a retained drain is most often reported after abdominal and pelvis surgery but drain migration in the prevertebral space after anterior cervical spine surgery has not been reported. This paper reports a case of drain retained and migrated into the thorax level following anterior cervical spine surgery with a review of the relevant literature.
