A seton drain is a piece of surgical thread or rubber tubing that is placed through the tract of a peri-anal abscess to prevent the opening from closing and allowing the infection to drain. It is usually left in place for a period of time until the abscess has healed. It may be visible on the skin as a small thread or tube exiting the abscess site.
