description <div><p>Seroma is a common complication post many plastic surgery procedures. To overcome this issue, drain insertion became a standard of care in many procedures. Existing methods for fixing the drain like the Roman sandal, purse string, and mesentery have limitations, including loosening and skin problems. A new, innovative, and efficient drain fixation technique is introduced in this paper. It involves using silk or similar non-absorbable sutures in a simple five-step process. This method ensures secure drain placement without undesirable outcomes. It avoids the need to force a knot over the skin, reducing the risk of skin damage or necrosis. In conclusion, the study introduces a straightforward, safe, and effective drain fixation method, reducing risks associated with fluid accumulation after surgery.</p><p> </p></div><h2>Other Information</h2> <p> Published in: Journal of Surgical Case Reports<br> License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jscr/rjad687" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jscr/rjad687</a></p>
