Self?removing passive drain to facilitate postoperative care via telehealth during the COVID?19 pandemic #MMPMID32347997

Background: Telehealth postoperative visits are an attractive strategy to minimize exposure, especially during the SARS?CoV?2 (COVID?19) pandemic. The use of a surgical drain often prevents this minimal?exposure approach in that patients return to the outpatient clinic for drain removal. Methods and Results: Following unilateral neck dissection, the customary closed?suction drain was replaced with a self?removing, passive drain dressing to facilitate same?day discharge and telehealth postoperative follow?up. The patient removed the dressing and drain at home during a telehealth visit on postoperative day 4 and she healed favorably without any signs of infection or seroma. Conclusions: When thoughtfully applied in the appropriate clinical context, small practice adaptations like this can facilitate telehealth solutions that diminish unnecessary exposure for patients, their caregivers, and health care staff.
