About This Postoperative Wound Infection Study in Danville

This is a prospective randomized, controlled, unblinded, interventional feasibility study to evaluate if showering with post operative drains in place leads to an increase in complications. The patients included in the study will be those undergoing breast reductions and panniculectomies at Geisinger Medical Center.
