Procedure
Surgical treatment for perianal abscess is most often drainage of the pus. This is done in a small operation. An opening is made in the skin over the abscess to allow the pus to drain out from the infected cavity. The skin opening is not closed after the procedure, and you will need to clean and pack the wound daily. A larger or deeper abscess may require surgery performed under anaesthesia and hospitalisation.
Perianal Abscess Surgery
Unlike other infections, antibiotics are generally not effective in treating perianal abscess. This is because antibiotics are unable to enter the fluid contained inside an abscess. If adequately treated and properly healed through surgery, the abscess will usually not re-occur. It is important to follow the instructions of your doctor to prevent recurrence.

A perianal abscess is an infection that occurs when the small glands near your anus become blocked. It can happen to anyone and you might start feeling pain and swelling around your anus, before fever, chills, nausea and vomiting begins to set in. In some cases, the abscess could even result in a painful anal fistula.
The most common and effective way to treat perianal abscess is via surgical incision and drainage.
