The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two surgical techniques for wound healing in diabetic patients aged 25-70 years with a carbuncle requiring surgical drainage. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is there a difference in blood loss during surgery between the two techniques?
Is there a difference in the duration required for wound healing between the two techniques?
Researchers will compare the Incision \& Drainage group to the Saucerization group (both followed by Vacuum Assisted Closure) to see which technique results in better outcomes.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to one of the two surgical groups.
Receive their assigned surgical procedure (either cruciate incision \& drainage or saucerization).
Receive post-operative Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) therapy.
Have their wounds assessed during follow-up visits every 14 days until healed.
All patients of either gender aged 25-70 years with ASA class 2-3 presenting to the emergency department with carbuncle requiring surgical drainage
