How long does it take to operate on a perianal abscess?

In clinical practice, perianal abscess surgery takes about an hour and, once a patient is diagnosed with a perianal abscess, it is best to perform incision and drainage in a timely manner because abscess incision and drainage is the main method of treating perianal abscesses and the procedure varies depending on the location of the patient’s perianal abscess. Usually, if a patient has a superficial perianal abscess, incision and drainage can be performed under local anesthesia, with a radial incision to the anus in the most obvious place of fluctuation, and no tamponade is necessary to keep the patient’s drainage open. In addition, if the patient’s perianal abscess is deep, it must be drained, and oil gauze can be placed for drainage, and the patient should be given pain relief and drug changes after surgery, and the drainage should be actively kept open so that the patient can recover well.
