Abscess Drainage
About the procedure
Abscess drainage is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove localized pus caused by infection. It can occur in the skin, soft tissue, or internal organs. The procedure relieves pain, prevents the infection from spreading, and promotes healing. Local anesthesia is used, followed by an incision to drain the pus. The area may be irrigated and packed if needed. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, and imaging or blood tests may be used for deep or systemic infections.
