title: [Treatment of the pediatric neck abscess and surgery scar by high negative pressure drainage system].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical significance of high negative pressure drainage system (PFM) in treatment of pediatric neck abscess and postoperative scar.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data of 35 children with neck abscess from June, 2012 to January, 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the site of the abscess in children, a small incision drainage combined PFM were used, and the antibiotics were used at the same time to strengthen systemic support treatment. The complications were treated by the related departments, and the application of topical silicone gel incision after operation lasted for 3-6 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thirty-five children healed after the above treatment in 7-14 d. The effective cure rate was 100%. The post-operation followed up for 6 months -1 year and no surgical incision scar was found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Small incision drainage combined with PFM show the superiority of minimal invasion for the treatment of postoperative abscess drainage without the needs of replacing the gauze and drainage bottle, and physiological activities are not affected in the suffering children. The method can significantly reduce the pain of children during the change of medical prescription and the physician workload. It has the advantages of faster healing, shorter hospital staying, without obvious scar and abnormalities. The method is especially useful for deep and large abscess, and it is better than the traditional treatment methods.
