title: [Results of sonographically-guided percutaneous procedures as therapy of liquid-filled space-occupying lesions in acute abdomen].
abstract: In the period from 1985 emergency sonographic study has been performed in 56 patients. In 44 cases we found intraabdominal abscesses, in 5 liver cysts with internal bleeding, in 5 postoperative lymphatic cysts, and in 2 cases loculated pleural empyemas. In 35 patients ultrasound guided therapeutic procedures were performed; there were 13 punctures (some repeated) and 22 drainages. In 29 patients no further surgical treatment was necessary. The over all success rate was 82.9%. One patient developed bacteremia after percutaneous drainage and an other developed subcutaneous abscess (complication rate: 5.7%). When abscesses are sufficiently drained no antibiotic therapy is needed.
