Perianal Abscess

Abscess Drainage

Emergency incision and drainage is the primary treatment for a perianal abscess. Dr. Adarsh, practising in Bangalore, performs this under appropriate anesthesia, creating an adequate incision close to the anal verge to ensure complete drainage while minimizing the length of any potential future fistula tract.

About Abscess Drainage

Perianal abscess drainage is an urgent surgical procedure to release pus collection around the anus. Dr. Adarsh performs incision and drainage under anesthesia, ensuring complete evacuation of the abscess cavity. The wound is left open to heal by secondary intention, and patients are closely monitored for fistula development, which occurs in approximately 30-50% of cases.
