Perianal abscess is not a small operation, in fact, for the operation is simple, clinical surgery is not categorized by size, so there is no such thing as a small operation.
Relatively speaking, the operation of perianal abscess surgery is relatively simple, but even if it is a simple operation also need to follow the principle of surgery, any part of the process should be careful, there can not be a hint of carelessness, improper operation will affect the patient’s life and health.
At present, the clinical perianal abscess surgery is divided into two ways according to whether the abscess is over the sphincter, namely simple incision and drainage and fistula incision and drainage and hanging line surgery.
If the patient’s perianal abscess has not passed the sphincter, it can be simply incised and drained, under local anesthesia, find the fluctuating point of the abscess to incise and drain, and then put the finger to explore the pus cavity, and finally place the pus cavity in the oil gauze to drain, clean and change the medicine every day until the pus drains cleanly and the incision heals.
If the patient’s abscess position is higher and there is a fistula, it is necessary to incise the fistula drainage or hanging line, the trauma is large to heal longer, usually need 1-2 months time to recover. Current research shows that incision and drainage and then hanging line, can reduce the occurrence of anal fistula.
If the patient has a perianal abscess, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital treatment, consult a specialist physician guidance.
