title: [Percutaneous drainage of abdominal abscesses guided by echography and x-ray computed tomography].
abstract: The therapeutic use of computerised tomography (CAT) and echography (ECT) includes guided percutaneous drainage of abdominal abscesses. The indications, method and results are described. As widely reported in the literature in recent years the results appear promising. The advantages of the technique over the traditional surgical technique are also emphasised.
