Primary vs. Secondary Closure of Cutaneous Abscesses After I&D: A RCT

Stony Brook University·interventional·Posted Apr 24, 2007·Updated Oct 22, 2012

In Brief

A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating PRIMARY CLOSRE, SECONDARY CLOSURE, and 1 other intervention for Cutanoeus Abscesses. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The standard treatment for skin abscesses in drainage followed by packing to prevent premature closure and reaccumulation of pus. Studies from the 1950s and later conducted outside of the US suggest that when drained abscesses are drained and sutured closed they actually heal faster without complications. The current study compares the time to healing and scar formation when drained abscesses are packed or sutured.
