Prophylactic abdominal drainage after donor right hepatectomy for LDLT has been a common or even mandatory practice in most transplant centres. This serves to monitor the occurrence of postoperative intra abdominal bleeding and is used for the detection and drainage of any bile leakage. However drain placement is not without any disadvantages like infective complications, increased pain, and prolonged hospital stay and bowel injury. In a study on non transplant liver resections by mitsuka et al, they validated 3x3 rule and concluded that the rule is clinically feasible and allows for the early removal of the drain tube with minimum infection risk after liver resection. There is no study done on live donor liver resection, in terms of drain removal. We are doing a randomized control trial to compare the safety of early drain removal versus standard drain removal after donor hepatectomy in terms of donor outcomes. We will analyse the data and elucidate the safety of early drain removal using 3x3 rule with routine drain removal.
