A prospective clinical study was performed on 62 patients with peritonsillar abscesses at Ben Taub General Hospital, Houston. The abscesses were treated with either incision and drainage or needle aspiration alone. The recovery period was similar in both groups, but two of the 41 patients initially treated with aspiration had an immediate recurrence. These were successfully treated with subsequent incision and drainage. The advantages of needle aspiration alone as the primary drainage procedure outweigh the acceptably low failure rate, making it the initial procedure of choice.
在休斯顿本陶布综合医院，对62例扁桃体周围脓肿患者进行了一项前瞻性临床研究。脓肿采用切开引流或单纯针吸治疗。两组的恢复期相似，但最初接受针吸治疗的41例患者中有2例立即复发。随后通过切开引流成功治愈。单纯针吸作为主要引流方法的优点超过了可接受的低失败率，使其成为首选的初始治疗方法。
