Hello,

My otolaryngologist performed surgery on a patient that had a subarachnoid lumbar drain previously placed by a neurosurgeon. He was asked to "tie off" the drain while performing other surgery in the OR. This involved an incision into the skin,tieing off the drain, irrigation, and closure in two layers.
