Abstract

Breast abscess is one of the common general surgical condition often affecting lactating women, it is very widely treated by incision and drainage in the peripheral centres where USG guided aspiration is not available. The aim of this study was to establish if USG guided aspiration is better, cost-effective and more feasible treatment option for breast abscess compared to Incision and Drainage. In our study, total of 154 patients divided into Two Groups, one underwent Incision and drainage and other USG guided aspiration. Many variable like age, parity, clinical features, USG findings were compared in the results we found that USG guided aspiration is easy procedure, cost-effective, well-accepted by the patient, less recurrence rate, more healing rate and also less hospital stay.
