Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Following informed consent, participants will be randomize to either the standard drain care regimen or the drain antisepsis regimen by a computerized randomization program, using dynamic allocation and stratifying by surgical procedure (radical surgery or conservative surgery). Subjects who had bilateral cancer underwent to the same regimen for both sides. The operating surgeon will know the assigned treatment arm at the end of the surgery.
The surgery will consist on placing a chlorhexidine gluconate occlusive adhesive dressing to the drains side at the end of the surgery. The dressing will be changed each 7 (+-1) days until the drain is removed.
All the participants and the principal take-carers, despite of the group of participation, will be personal instructed by a member of the research team in the first hours of the postoperative, before the departure. In addition, they will be given paper based instructions for the general care of the drain and the surgery wound.
For the experimental group, the dressing will be changed each 7(+-1) days; The site of the insertion must be cleaned with 70% concentration isopropyl alcohol towels. The evaluation and quantification of the drained fluid will be done every 12 hours as it is done usually in these patients.
The patients will be followed for 30 days from the surgery until the resolution of the infectious complication, if it occurs. The patients will go at the end of the first postoperative week (POP 7+-1). In each visit, the coordinator of the study will register the information of the patient in the register sheet. In each visit the patient will be evaluated, the characteristics of the surgical wound and the characteristics of drain fluid will be consigned in the protocol register sheet. The investigator will verify that the participants have correctly done the clean-up the drain.
All patients will undergo semiquantitative cultures of the drain bulb at the first and second week postoperative. Also the investigators will take the distal part of the internal segment of each removed drainage tube for semiquantitative culture. All participants will be evaluated for clinical signs of infection and for any adverse reactions to the drain antisepsis at the follow-up visits. In case of a surgical site infection, the patient will receive the right treatment and will remain in surveillance until the resolution.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Antiseptic occlusive dressing group
A chlorhexidine gluconate occlusive adhesive dressing (Tegaderm CHG) will be applied to the intervention drain sites and changed every seven days.
Antiseptic occlusive dressing group
A chlorhexidine gluconate occlusive adhesive dressing (Tegaderm CHG) will be applied to the intervention drain sites and changed every seven days.
Standard care
Standard drain care will be performed twice a day or three times if bulb is full and needs to be emptied. Standard drain care consists of stripping the tubing, emptying the drainage bulb, recording the volume of fluid, and cleaning the drain site and the tubing with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
