Answer: Keep it clean better that it is coming out than staying in. It will close with time when the drainage slows down. I would just communicate with your surgeon

Answer: Drain is leaking 19 days after surgery. What can I do? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Depending on the timing since your drain was removed it often takes several days for the site to seal fully. If it has been more than 4-5 days I would contact your surgeon as you may have a residual fluid collection that needs to be evaluated and treated for complete resolution. Hope this help.
