[The potentials of computed tomography in the treatment of cysts and inflammatory diseases of the internal organs].
Computed tomography (CT) is used more and more often recently in the treatment of some surgical diseases of the internal organs. The subject of discussion in this work are the results of treatment of cysts and pyoinflammatory diseases of the internal organs. The work was conducted on CT IV generation "QUAD 1" of the CMS firm (England). Needles measuring 14-18d in diameter (Charrière scale) were used for aspiration. A total of 23 therapeutic interventions were performed in 19 patients with exudative pleurisy (1 patient), pleuritis (4), pulmonary abscesses (1), abscesses of the liver (1), abscesses of the subhepatic and subdiaphragmatic spaces (2), cysts of the liver (1) and kidneys (1 patient). Among the interventions 21 were aspirations and 2 drainage of the abscess. A mechanical syringe is used lately for more effective evacuation of the contents. The removed contents, ranging in volume from 10.0 to 600.0 ml, was subjected to cytological, biochemical, and bacteriological analysis. A single puncture is sufficient, as a rule, for aspiration of the cyst contents, one-stage aspiration from cysts of both kidneys may be conducted (as was the case in two of our patients). 96% alcohol was used as the sclerosing agent. In cases of small abscesses aspiration may be repeated for removal of the contents, irrigation of the cavity, and administration of antibiotics. In abscesses measuring more than 10 cm drainage is advisable. Control CT examination is conducted once a week. The condition of the cavity is appraised by combining CT with its contrast study. The immediate results were good and satisfactory in 17 (94.7%) patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
