Gee, I hope this isn't a test question.

Googling with the abbrevation should lead you very quickly to your answer.

Lolabet, be careful with expanding that abbreviation. There are at least two different common meanings (I have one account that actually has trascriptionist instructions not to expand it unless the doctor specifically dictates it in full)

Lolabet there are three different ones, choose the correct one with correlating with the content.

incision and drainage
irrigation and debridement
irrigation and drainage

Srinath, you might wish to read the topics that are at the top of this forum. \:\) Generally, we don't provide direct answers to questioners - instead, we guide them in how to research their answers themselves.

You might also want to check the dates on posts before responding.

I actually don't expand this unless it is very clear which one they want. They are actually different procedures. I'm pretty clear that when there's an abscess, incision and drainage would fit. Other than that, it's anybody's guess.

And if it doesn't fit, you must acquit! (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
