The pigtail drainage catheter, named for its curled and pigtail-like end, has been widely used in urological surgeries involving the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Due to its soft and flexible material, it is resistant to bending and detachment, making it increasingly utilized in the treatment of pneumothorax. Patients who are managed with a pigtail drainage catheter experience simplified postoperative care. With the catheter in place, patients can engage in early mobility, reducing the risk of infection. This significantly decreases nursing workload, promotes faster patient recovery, and results in a noticeable reduction in hospital stay.
