    What is incision and drainage procedure?

    Dr. Robert H. Shmerling

    An incision and drainage procedure is one in which a healthcare provider provides an anesthetic and then makes a cut (incision) in a fluid-filled structure in the body and removes (drains) the fluid. This may be done in an office, hospital or operating room. A common reason surgeons perform this procedure is for an infection (called an abscess) that is causing pain and pressure. An incision and drainage procedure, along with antibiotic treatment, can hasten recovery and quickly reduce the discomfort.

    35 patients were randomised. Patients receiving saline irrigation had a significantly greater reduction in pleural collection volume on computed tomography compared to those receiving standard care (median (interquartile range) 32.3% (19.6–43.7%) reduction versus 15.3% (−5.5–28%) reduction) (p<0.04).
