Laparoscopic drainage of a recurrent psoas abscess.
BACKGROUND Many Authors suggest that psoas abscess should initially undergo an antibiotic therapy, with or without percutaneous drainage. In their opinion, surgical drainage should be done in case of failure or complicated recurrences. Herein we report a laparoscopic drainage of a recurrent and multilocular psoas abscess. METHODS A 43-year-old woman presented to our department with a 4-week h...

The patient was successfully treated with posterior decompr...
متن کاملComparison of the Anteroposterior and Posterior Approaches for Percutaneous Catheter Drainage of Tuberculous Psoas Abscess
BACKGROUND Tuberculous infection of the lumbar spine may be associated with psoas abscess. The aim of this clinical study was to compare the outcome of posterior lumbar debridement and spinal fusion, combined with either a one-stage anteroposterior (AP) or posterior (P) approach to percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for the treatment of lumbar tuberculosis with psoas abscess. MATERIAL AND MET...

Although lung abscesses are successfully treated with antibiotics in 80-90% of cases, this conservative approach may occasionally fail. In cases of failure, pulmonary resection is usually advised. Although it remains controversial, an alternative therapy in such situations is percutaneous transthoracic tube drainage (PTTD). Herein we review the medical literature on PTTD from the last 25 y, foc...
