We present placement oftube drain in patients of abscess as a minimally invasive method of management. Forty-one patients between 18 and 70 years of age were treated by this method from February 2012 to October2024, following an informed consent. Clinical diagnosis of abscess was based on history and clinical signs of inflammation. The treatment was carried out on IPD basis followed by surgical management under local/general anesthesia. A drain was placed percutaneously in the abscess cavity for 5-8 days. Results: The abscess healed in 5-8 days’ time. There was no complication of residual or recurrent abscess, fistula or sinus formation. There was minimal scar formation in all cases.
