“…In the literature, Ozseker et al [2] and Imperiale et al [7] reported that sterile culture results were 36% and 23%, respectively. Many studies have shown that the most common organism obtained in culture was S. aureus [14,15]. In our study, there was no growth in a significant part (66.6%) of the culture results.…”

Objectives:The aim of this study was to assess whether ultrasound-guided (US-guided) percutaneous drainage of breast abscesses could be used as an alternative to surgery. Methods: We performed a retrospective study. Twenty patients were included in the study who were diagnosed as having a non-specific breast abscess. Eleven patients underwent surgery whereas nine patients were treated with US-guided drainage. Ultrasonographic findings, results of treatment and follow-up were evaluated between the two groups. Results: In the US-guided drainage group, 5 patients were treated with needle aspiration and 4 were treated with catheter drainage. All cases within the needle aspiration group totally recovered. However, one case within the catheter drainage group failed. The total success rate of US-guided drainage was 88.8%. The median followup period was 21.0 days in the US-guided drainage group and 45.0 days in the surgical drainage group. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of recovery (p = 0.450) and follow-up periods (p = 0.112) between the surgical drainage and US-guided drainage groups. Conclusions: US-guided percutaneous drainage may be preferred as a first method of choice in treatment of a breast abscess. The most appropriate approach to breast abscess treatment will be possible with a multidisciplinary approach of surgery and radiology.The European Research Journal 2019;5(5):809-815 reast abscesses often develop as a complication of infectious mastitis in young women [1]. Traditional treatment includes surgical drainage and systemic administration of antibiotics. Surgery, which usually requires general anesthesia, leads to scar tissue, also requires the cessation of breast-feeding during treatment and is more expensive. However, ultrasound-guided (US-guided) percutaneous drainage is a feasible, safe, well-tolerated and successful method [2][3][4].In our study, we aimed to show that US-guided drainage of breast abscesses may be an alternative to surgical incision and drainage.

Introduction:Peurperal breast abscess is a common problem in lactating mothers causing significant morbidity with the incidence ranging from 0.4 to 11% in Indian subcontinent. Study aimed to compare the outcomes of needle aspiration vs incisional drainage of lactational breast abscess with reference to recurrent abscess, time required for complete healing, pain and scar, to study the most common organism in the breast abscess and to study the sensitivity of the organisms seen in breast abscess.
