Is there any other drainer aside the catheter to drain any fluid in the abdominal pelvic area? Dr. Clavell said he will most likely will not insert a catheter which ia great. I was just wondering if there is anything else..

Some doctors do put in a drain to drain fluid bit not urine. Others do not and say the risk of infection from another incision is not worth it.
