Surgical Abscess Drainage Procedure

The provider incises the area of abscess and drains the collection of pus from a lesion, such as a carbuncle, hidradenitis, cyst, furuncle, or paronychia, with the help of surgical instruments. A simple incision and drainage usually involves a single incision of an abscess situated just below the skin's surface. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
