Comparison of Standard Incision and Drainage Versus Percutaneous Suction Drainage in the Management of Acute Breast Abscess
Sponsor: GSVM Medical College
Summary
This prospective interventional study compares the effectiveness of standard incision and drainage versus percutaneous suction drain placement in the management of acute pyogenic breast abscess. Eighty patients were enrolled and allocated equally into two groups. The study evaluates outcomes including postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay, wound healing time, number of dressings required, complications, and recurrence. The aim is to determine whether percutaneous suction drainage provides superior clinical outcomes compared to conventional surgical management.
