In our study, total of 154 patients divided into Two Groups, one underwent Incision and drainage and other USG guided aspiration. Many variable like age, parity, clinical features, USG findings were compared in the results we found that USG guided aspiration is easy procedure, cost-effective, well-accepted by the patient, less recurrence rate, more healing rate and also less hospital stay.
