A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF PERIANALABSCESS

Introduction: Most perianal abscesses originate from an infected anal gland. Obstruction of these glands leads to stasis, bacterial overgrowth and ultimately abscess. Approximately 10% of perirectal abscesses are thought not to be due to infected anal glands. It is unclear why some patients completely heal and others have recurrent disease. Aims And Objectives: To study the common age group, gender and common risk factor associated. Identify common causative organism involved along with sensitive antibiotic treatment. Material And Methods: Aprospective study was carried out in the department General Surgery from January 2020 to March 2022 at Seth G.S Medical College and KEM hospital Mumbai. Results: Maximum cases are seen in age group between 21 to 40 years of age. Most common symptoms that patient complained were Perianal swelling and pain. Diabetes' mellitus is most common Comorbidity among cases with Perianal abscess. Most organism are sensitive to piperacillin. Incidence of Perianal abscess is maximum among smokers than non-smokers. Conclusions: As the abscess resolves with proper drainage, antibiotics are never required. However, we encourage the selective use of antimicrobial agents on a case-by- case basis, especially because there is no evidence that uncomplicated perianal abscesses can be safely treated only with drainage.
