Patients’ detailed demographics including age, weight, height and body mass index were recorded after taking informed written consent. Women had breast abscess were included. Patients were equally divided into two groups, I and II. Group I had 55 patients and received percutaneous aspiration while in group II 55 patients were underwent for incision drainage. Outcomes among both groups were compared in terms of early restoration of breast feeding, pain score by using VAS and time of healing. Complete data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0 version.

Restoration of breast feeding among group I was 47 (85.45%) and in group II 32 (58.2%) patients restored breast feeding. Satisfaction among patients in group I was higher than that of 45 (81.82%) as compared to group II 31 (56.4%).
