Abstract
Background: Traditional management of perianal abscesses involves incising the skin over the abscess to drain the abscess and allow wound irrigation. Following drainage an internal dressing is applied (packing) and is changed regularly until the abscess has healed by secondary intention. More contemporary perianal management strategies such as refraining from regular post-operative packing have shown promising results. The aim of this study was to synthesize the evidence for packing perianal abscesses compared to non-packing.
