title: [Experiences with CT-guided percutaneous drainage of pyogenic liver abscesses].
abstract: 32 CT-guided percutaneous drainages of bacterial liver abscesses in 25 patients accomplished definitive sanitation in 18 of them (72%). In 7 cases surgical revision was required. Percutaneous drainage of abscesses was able to achieve a temporal improvement in these cases and therefore was an effective pre-surgical measure. There were no complications primarily due to the method itself. The average dwell-time of catheters during drainage of curative percutaneous drainage was 22.5 days. The new therapy concept has proven to be of little discomfort and complications together with high therapeutic effectiveness.
