I had a distal pancrectomy and spleenectomy in May......I am still draining about 20 ML of fluid a day through a drain. I have had problems with the collection area becoming infected and my recovery has been slow. Has anyone else had their drain in for over 3 months? I am beginning to really feel good but it worries me that this drainage has not resolved.
