Another disadvantage of this method is thatfragments of debris and clots which are fre-quently removed when the suction method isemployed, are left behind and serve as a nidusfor the development of microbes and a startingpoint for inflammatory processes. It is some-times impossible to remove every ])article ofdetritus in certain cases, even by washing theabdominal cavity in the most thorough man-ner. These articles gravitate down to thedrainage-tube and by the suction method maybe drawn out, but are almost certain to Ijeleft behind when the tube is filled with thegauze iilug, although now and then some smallparticle may be found adhering to the end ofthe plug when it is drawn
