Changing the Paradigm of Breast Abscess Management-Ultrasound Aspiration and Suction Drain versus Incision and Drainage in Treatment of Breast Abscess
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
An acute inflammatory lump which yields pus on incision/aspiration is broadly termed as a breast abscess. It is highly related to pregnancy and caused when a child feeds leading to nipple piercing and bacterial colonization due to improper nursing technique and incomplete emptying of the breast. Breast abscess remains a morbid condition among lactating women in developing countries as compared to the women in developed countries due to improved puerperal hygiene, nutrition, early administration of antibiotics and standard of living. Breast abscess ranges from mastitis to deep abscess and is the most common cause of morbidity in puerperal women. In India the Incidence of lactation breast abscess is very high. This study aims to compare the results of ultrasound guided aspiration of abscess and incision and drainage in the management of breast abscess. This is a comparative study between ultrasound guided aspiration of abscess and incision and drainage consisting of 120 patients who underwent both the treatment modalities alternatively. Ultrasound guided aspiration is an effective method of treatment in breast abscess with a good patient satisfaction and less morbidity.
