Abstract:

The conventional breast abscesses treatment is the surgical incision and drainage followed by digital septa disruption, contents evacuation with surgical drains placements. 60 female patients of 40 years average age with suspected breast abscesses were treated at the at the Department of Surgery of Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan. The minimally invasive treatment for breast abscesses was accomplished with the help of percutaneous drainage placement and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration. During drainage placement, ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration was accomplished followed by percutaneous insertion of an ordinary drainage catheter by prick incision. They endured the forms of clinical inflammation like puerperal mastitis in 24 patients (40%), non-puerperal mastitis in 27 patients (45%) and other inflammation such as infected seromas and folliculinids in 9 patients (15%). Overall, fibrocystic variation was detected in 58% of the cohort (35/60). Among non-puerperal mastitis, 18/27 (67%) patients existing fibrocystic variations, among puerperal mastitis, 4/24 (17%) patients existing fibrocystic variations and among other patients with different inflammation forms, 5/9 (56%) were linked with fibrocystic variations. The early complications were experienced in 12/60 (20%) patients who were treated with minimally invasive techniques. It has been confirmed by this study that ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration minimally invasive therapy along with antibiotic treatment can be an effective approach for the breast abscesses treatment in the all surgical approaches and it is a safe and feasible approach in terms of the less post-operative complications and recovery time as well as hospital stay duration.
