Sponsor's own description

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of multiple percutaneous needle aspiration (MPNA) versus incision and drainage (ID) for the management of small breast abscesses in breastfeeding women. The trial evaluates three key outcomes: post-procedure pain levels, cosmetic satisfaction, and the timing of breastfeeding restoration. The study is conducted at the Department of Surgery, Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur, enrolling 110 lactating women aged 18-45 years with abscesses ≤5 cm in diameter. Participants were treated with either MPNA or ID based on clinical decision and patient preference. Pain levels were assessed using a standardized scale, cosmetic outcomes were evaluated via patient-reported satisfaction, and breastfeeding restoration was monitored at baseline, one week, and one month post-treatment. Findings indicate that MPNA is associated with lower pain scores, better cosmetic satisfaction, and faster resumption of breastfeeding compared to ID, suggesting MPNA as a preferred first-line treatment for small breast abscesses.
