Interventions

Vessel Loop Drainageprocedure

Minimally invasive approach will utilize a vesi-loop device for the vessel loop drainage technique by placing 2 peripheral stab incisions into the abscess with a tunnel through the abscess cavity, and loop passed through the tunnel and tied atop the skin.

Incision and Drainageprocedure

Standard of care treatment will utilize incision and drainage over the center of the abscess cavity with or without packing at physicians discretion.
