Background: Breast abscess is a common problem in lactating mothers causing significant morbidity. The present study was conducted to compare needle aspiration and incision and drainage in the management of breast abscess. Materials & methods: 60 breast abscess patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 each. Group I were treated with needle aspiration and group II with incision and drainage. All aspiration procedures were performed under ultrasound guidance. Pus sample was sent for culture and sensitivity. Results: Group I patients were treated with needle aspiration and group II with incision and drainage. The mean size of abscess was 3.24 cm in group I and 3.86 cm in group II. Left size abscess was seen in 8 in group I and 12 in group II and right abscess in 22 in group I and 18 in group II. Staphylococcus in pus culture was seen in 24 in group I and 19 in group II. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The mean healing time was 8.1 days in group I and 17.5 days in group II, continued breast feeding rate was seen in 28 in group I and 22 in group II. Recurrence rate was seen in 1 in group II and cosmetic outcome/Scar was seen in 5 in group I and 30 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Needle Aspiration is a better management option with good healing time, healing rate, and continued breast feeding rate with better cosmetic outcome in patients with breast abscess.
