CT-guided Intra-abdominal Abscess Drainage.

Intra-abdominal abscesses arise from complications of surgery and disease. Computed tomography (CT) facilitates abscess drainage procedures while reducing the risks and costs associated with surgery. These procedures require collaboration to ensure positive patient outcomes. To perform their role in CT-guided intra-abdominal abscess drainage, radiologic technologists must understand patient car...

A meta-analysis comparing suprapubic and transurethral catheterization for bladder drainage after abdominal surgery.

BACKGROUND Although bladder drainage is widely used for general surgical patients undergoing laparotomy, there is little consensus on whether suprapubic or transurethral catheterization is better. METHOD A systematic database search was undertaken to find all studies of suprapubic catheterization. Randomized controlled trials were identified for inclusion. Endpoints for analysis were bacteriu...

Caudate lobe liver abscess: early surgical drainage

The Indian sub continent has a high incidence of both pyogenic and amebic liver abscesses.1 several factors have been implicated for the same but the most significant is the prevalence of poor hygiene, lack of proper sanitation and low socioeconomic status. The advanced imaging has helped in accurate and early diagnosis of these but still pyogenic liver abscesses carry up to 19% risk of mortali...

Laparoscopic Drainage of Pyogenic Liver Abscess

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pyogenic liver abscesses are mainly treated by percutaneous aspiration or drainage under antibiotic cover. If interventional radiology fails, surgical drainage becomes necessary. Recently, we performed laparoscopic liver abscess drainage successfully, and we aimed to focus on the topic in light of a systematic review of the literature. METHODS A 22-year-old man was a...
