Incision and Drainage is used to treat which condition by draining pus?

• A. Cryosurgery
• B. Incision and Drainage
• C. Biopsy
• D. Vasectomy

Answer: (B)

Incision and drainage is performed to treat an abscess, a localized collection of pus caused by infection. By making a small cut over the abscess, pus can drain out, relieving pressure and helping clear the infection, often alongside antibiotics. The other options don’t accomplish this drainage: freezing tissue (cryosurgery) destroys tissue rather than draining pus; biopsy collects tissue for testing; and a vasectomy is a male sterilization procedure with no relation to draining an abscess.
