Emergency department puncture drainage of lesion is a procedure where a doctor uses a needle or small catheter to drain fluid or pus from an abnormal collection or lesion on or under the skin. This procedure is typically performed in the emergency department when a patient has a painful, infected, or enlarged area that needs immediate drainage to relieve symptoms or prevent infection from spreading. During the procedure, you can expect the area to be cleaned and possibly numbed before the doctor inserts the needle to drain the fluid, which usually takes just a few minutes.
