Purpose : Evaluation of the drainage of perianal abscesses at first visit by a retrospective study of the treatment of perianal abscess in infants.
Methods : The study included 15 infants who were treated for perianal abscess between April 2008 and April 2015. We divided the sample into two groups based on whether or not the abscess was drained at their first visit. The group without drainage included six patients who were treated with the herbal medicine Juzen-taiho-to without drainage. The drainage group included nine patients who were treated with Juzen-taiho-to with drainage. The age of onset/visit, body weight at the time of visit, dose of Juzen-taiho-to, number of hospital visits, duration of treatment, and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.
Results : There were no differences in the age of onset/visit, body weight at the time of visit, dose of Juzen-taiho-to, number of hospital visits, and duration of treatment between the two groups. The recurrence rate in the group without drainage was higher than that in the drainage group (33% vs 0%, p<0.05).
Conclusions : Our results support the drainage of perianal abscesses in infants at their first visit to reduce the risk of recurrence.
