We are thrilled to announce that COMPASS🧭 has been published in the BJS! http://doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znac069

Drains are controversial in colorectal surgery: COMPASS explored the international variation in drain placement and the safety of this practice

Here is what we found:

COMPASS recruited 1805 patients from 22 countries 🌐

Despite guidelines against their use, drain placement remains very widespread (51.9%)❌

After propensity score matching, we found:
- no clinical benefits❌
- prolonged length of stay📈
- more skin infections🦠
associated with drain placement

In summary, this large international cohort study showed:
- many surgeons still use drains❌
- no evidence of clinical benefit with drain use❌
- drains may cause harm🤒

Next step?🧭
- stop drains!
