Abstract：Objective To explore the effects of different surgical intervention in different period on brain abscess. Methods The clinical data of 54 patients with brain abscess treated in our hospital from January, 2010 to December, 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the pathological stage and operation method, 54 patients were divided into four groups. Of 27 patients in maturating period, 14 underwent drainage of the abscess (group A) and 13 excision of the abscess (group B). Of 25 patients in the maturated period, 7 underwent drainage of the abscess (group C) and 18 excision (group D). The curative effect and postoperative hospital stays were compared among all the groups. Results There were insignificant differences in the male vs female ratio, ages and GCS score on admission to hospital among all the groups (P>0.05). The median hospital stays after the operation were significantly shorter in group D than group C (P<0.05). Three patients (20.0%, 3/15) died in group D. No patients died in the other groups. The death rate was significantly higher in group D than those in the other groups (P<0.05). Conclusions The curative effects of different surgery interventions in different periods of brain abscess formation on brain abscess are different from each other.
