RESUMEN
Thirty patients underwent cholecystectomy without drainage, and 16 matched controls cholecystectomy with drainage. The wound infection rate was lower, hospital stay shorter and overall complication rate less in undrained patients. This study suggests that surgical drainage after uncomplicated cholecystectomy is unnecessary and may be unwise
