Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Perirectal Abscess Drainage without Drainage Catheter: A Case Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
A perirectal abscess is a relatively common disease entity that occurs as a postsurgical complication or as a result of various medical conditions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage was recently described as a promising alternative treatment. Previous reports have recommended placement of a drainage catheter through the anus for irrigation, which is inconvenient to the patient and carries a risk of accidental dislodgement. We report four cases of perirectal abscess that were successfully treated with only one or two 7 F double pigtail plastic stent placements and without a drainage catheter for irrigation.

Drainage of pancreatic abscesses is required for effective control of sepsis. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided endoscopic drainage is less invasive than surgery and prevents local complications related to percutaneous drainage. Endoscopic drainage with stent placement in the uncinate process of the pancreas is a technically difficult procedure. We report a case of pancreatic abscess treated b...

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can be used to guide drainage of pelvic abscesses. Here, we present a case of successful pelvic abscess drainage using a dedicated, wide, flared-end, fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS). A 68-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a high fever that had not settled after 4 weeks of antibiotic use. She had a history of renal transplantation and...

Pelvic abscess developed in an 88-year-old woman (Case 1) following a Hartmann’s procedure for a perforated diverticulum and in a 78-year-old woman (Case 2) after diverticulitis (●" Fig.1). Conservativemanagement was unsuccessful in the first patient due to advanced age and in the second patient due to severe co-morbidities. Both patients underwent transrectal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided...
