First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at 500 patients with breast abscesses to find out why some treatments fail. The goal was to see if draining the abscess with a needle (aspiration) or making a small cut (incision and drainage) works better as the first treatment. The results could help doctors choose the right treatment from the start, reducing repeat procedures and emergency visits.
