• The main rule when incising an abscess is to establish free outflow of pus, open all pockets, and drain both the main cavity and its pockets.
• If the main incision does not provide evacuation of the contents, an additional incision (counter-opening) is made in the lowest part of the purulent cavity or on the side opposite the main incision;
• Opening the abscess cavity, evacuating the purulent contents, and draining the abscess cavity;
• The surgical wound is left open without suturing and covered with sterile dressings with ointment;
• Different approaches for acute and chronic (cold) abscesses;
