Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients admitted to the NIMS hospital were randomly divided into two groups: Closed group with 20 patients treated with primary closure with closed suction drain and open group with the conventional method of incision and drainage. Results: Closed group patients had lesser time to heal, lesser duration of hospital stay, lesser number of dressing changes, lesser pain during dressing change, and better scar than the open group.
