Disclosed herein is a surgical drape with a fluid collection system for channeling and collecting fluids emanating from the surgical site during an operation. The surgical drape includes a main sheet with a fenestration located therein. A fluid collection bag is attached to the main sheet with its open end positioned adjacent the fenestration. The fluid collection bag has a front panel and a rear panel joined along common side edges to define a fluid receiving chamber. The front and rear panels further form a trough on either side of the bag extending upwardly from the open end along the common side edges. The fluid collection bag, with its integrally formed troughs, is attached to the main sheet such that the troughs and the open end of the fluid collection bag surround at least a portion of the fenestration with the troughs opening inwardly toward the fenestration so as to contain and channel fluids into the open end of the fluid collection bag.
