He considers as indications for drainage: 1) the existence of local accumulations of blood, decomposed (infected) or capable of decomposing secrets, if their neutralization exceeds the absorption capacity of the peritoneum, locally or generally reduced; 2) the possibility of sequential accumulation of secrets, decomposition (infection) and absorption of which makes one fear septic intoxication; 3) the danger of opening the hollow organs with not indifferent contents (bladder, intestine); 4) the need to isolate more significant, abundantly secerinating cavity wounds from the rest of the abdominal cavity.
