We report a case in which negative pressure sealing drainage was applied to treat a deep cervical abscess and achieved a good therapeutic effect.
METHODS: The abscess in the neck will go down.
METHODS: Deep neck abscess.
METHODS: The usual surgical approach to treating this condition is to make a small incision to incise and drain the patient infected area where it is most visibly swollen or fluctuating, and to place a negative pressure drainage device.
RESULTS: Eleven days after the operation, the patient neck recovered well, there was no infection in the operation area, and the patient was discharged from the hospital with improved symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: This proves that the negative pressure closed drainage technique has potential in the treatment of deep neck abscesses and is also an effective choice in promoting wound healing, which is expected to bring better therapeutic effects to patients treated for deep neck abscesses.
