Treatment of diseases: peritonsillar abscess Indication There are two types of abscess around the tonsils. Generally, when the abscess matures after 5 to 6 days of inflammation around the tonsils, it is feasible to open the drainage. Preoperative preparation Patients often have sore throat, fever, less food intake, poor physical strength, in addition to preoperative infusion, and do a good job of preoperative interpretation, to relieve the patient's concerns, so as to avoid fainting during surgery. Surgical procedure The patient usually takes a seat and the operator sits opposite the patient. 1. The most prominent point of the anterior superior type abscess is the incision site, and a horizontal line can be made from the root of the uvula, and a vertical line is formed from the inner edge of the lingual arch, at the intersection of the two lines. First, puncture the puncture needle at the most prominent point of the abscess. After the pus is drawn, the mucosa and submucosal tissue are cut open. The vascular clamp is used to move backward, and the soft tissue is separated into the abscess. Open the vascular clamp to make the drainage opening open and try to release the pus. The role of puncture is to confirm the formation of abscess, and can avoid the sudden influx of pus into the trachea when the incision occurs, causing suffocation. 2. The posterior superior type is puncture between the upper pole of the tonsil and the pharyngeal arch, and the most prominent point of the abscess. After the pus is drawn, the pus is cut according to the above method.
