Operаtive RepоrtDiаgnоsis: Left thigh аbscess.Prоcedure: Incision and drainage of left thigh abscess.Indications: An otherwise healthy 2-year-old male presented with progressive swelling, redness, and pain of the upper left thigh area. The area in question on the left thigh now has a fluctuant center, and incision and drainage are indicated. Description of Procedure: With the patient in the supine position under general anesthesia, the upper anterior left leg was prepped with Betadine and draped in a sterile fashion. We used an 18-gauge needle and a small syringe to aspirate grossly purulent grayish material from the center of the fluctuant area, and this was sent for aerobic and anaerobic routine bacterial culture. We then made a small transverse incision directly through the area, entering a cavity and obtaining a substantial amount of additional purulent material. We gently probed the area and broke up any loculations. The abscess appeared to be quite superficial and did not extend grossly beyond the subcutaneous tissues. It did extend laterally to the edge of the indurated area, and we opened our incision very slightly toward that lateral area to make sure that the area was adequately drained. The wound was irrigated with saline and then packed open with ¼-inch strip gauze. The area was dressed with a 4 × 4 and wrapped with a Kerlix. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was taken to the recovery room in stable condition.
