Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
to find out which among the two procedures (ultrasound guided needle aspiration and surgical drainage) are effective in the management of breast abscess Timepoint: Follow up from Post op day 1 to post day 5 2 weeks and 4 weeks after discharge

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the success rates of ultrasound-guided needle aspiration versus surgical drainage in terms of complete drainage of the abscess & prevention of recurrence. 2. To evaluate the incidence of complications associated with each approach, such as infection, bleeding, & scarring. 3. To compare the recovery time associated with each approach, such as time until resolution of symptoms & return to normal activities. 4. To identify factors that may influence the success rates & complications associated with each approach, such as abscess size & location. Timepoint: Follow up from Post op day 1 to post day 5, 2 weeks & 4 weeks after discharge
