Treatment of diseases: acute abscess Indication Superficial abscess formation, if there are fluctuations, should be cut open. Preoperative preparation 1. Rational application of antibacterial drugs. 2. Multiple abscesses, poor general condition, should pay attention to improve the general condition. Surgical procedure In the superficial abscess bulge, 1% procaine was used for skin infiltration anesthesia. Use a sharp-edged knife to cut a small opening into the abscess, then turn the knife over, so that the blade is facing upwards, and the abscess wall is lifted from the inside out to drain the pus. Then use a finger or a hemostatic forceps to extend into the abscess, explore the size of the abscess, and separate the septum interval. According to the size of the abscess, under the guidance of the hemostat, extend the incision to both ends to reach the edge of the abscess and completely cut the abscess. If the abscess is large, or because of the local anatomical relationship, it is not suitable for large incision, it can be used for counter-drainage, so that the drainage is smooth. Finally, the Vaseline gauze strip was sent to the bottom of the abscess with a hemostat, and the other end was left outside the abscess, and the pad was placed with dry gauze.
