Incision and Drainage

Incision and drainage is a minor surgical procedure performed to treat abscesses, where pus collects due to infection under the skin or within tissues. The procedure helps relieve pain, reduce swelling, and prevent the spread of infection by allowing the accumulated pus to drain out. Dr. Sabyasachi Goswami is an experienced surgeon skilled in performing incision and drainage procedures safely and effectively, ensuring quick relief and proper healing for patients.

The procedure is usually simple and performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made over the abscess to drain the pus, followed by cleaning of the infected area. In some cases, a dressing or drain may be placed to allow continuous drainage and prevent re-accumulation. Dr. Sabyasachi Goswami uses precise techniques and maintains strict hygiene standards to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of recurrence. Most patients can return home the same day after the procedure.

Post-procedure care is essential to ensure complete healing and to avoid further infection. Dr. Sabyasachi Goswami provides detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery. Mild pain or discomfort may occur initially but improves with proper wound care and medication.
