Management of subcutaneous abscesses: prospective cross-sectional study (MAGIC) ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znae162 This study reveals wide variation in the management of acute subcutaneous abscesses in the UK. - Disparity in the choice of anaesthesia, the role of cavity packing, and the role of antibiotics - The data challenge the necessity of general anaesthesia as a default approach for surgical drainage - Data show no clear indication of benefit of routine antimicrobial therapy after surgical drainage The study provides a snapshot of practice specific to the UK, which should guide future research and other local quality improvement initiatives.

A new study addressing appendicitis in pregnancy in the UK has hit the ground via @WRSC_research and @mamastudy2024. It's retrospective due to the rare nature of the cohort, but should be useful and done quickly.
