It involves placement of a sterile drain–typically a 1/4 inch penrose drain or a vessel loop (used by surgeons to mark vessels intraoperatively) to stent the cavity open between two incisions spaced 4-5 cm apart within the abscess cavity.
How does a vessel loop drain work?
The loop technique consists of making an incision, breaking up loculations, creating a second incision at the outer edge, irrigating, passing a vessel loop through the incisions, and tying the loop ends loosely together. The vessel loop is left in place to be retracted after several days.
How do I remove a vessel loop drain?
How do I remove the loop? Simply cut the loop with scissors and pull it out of the patient. This should be very quick and relatively painless. There is no need for sedation for loop removal.
