PY - 2014 T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e AB - Procedural analgesia and sedation are both safe and applicable to office setting surgical procedures in children as long as support personnel are appropriately trained and monitoring and resuscitation equipment is available.Emergent and scheduled surgical procedures are both amenable to an office location site. Incision and drainage of a superficial abscess is a common such procedure.Infection drainage is best accompanied with enteral antibiotic therapy in the face of local cellulitis and even lymphangitis; however, when proximal lymphadenitis is present, parenteral antibiotics are indicated.In the presence of a truncal or extremity penetrating/puncture wound in a child, a retained foreign body should be suspected and excluded.
