title: [Therapeutic interventions under ultrasonic control in diseases of the abdominal cavity organs].
abstract: The results of 212 transcutaneous therapeutical abdominal interventions, performed under the ultrasound control, have been analysed. 190 patients have been treated. The sectorial ultrasound probe was acting at the frequency of 3 MHz. The electronic matrix guided the needle. One-stage percutaneous drainage with an "umbrella" stylet catheter was used in all cases. Percutaneous drainage of the gallbladder was performed in 140 patients; 111 of them had acute cholecystitis with a high surgical risk. The operation of cholecystectomy has been performed in 32 patients after control of the acute stage of the disease. In 47 patients percutaneous drainage was indicated in case of liver cysts and abscesses, intraliver hematomas, liver pseudocysts, liver pseudoabscesses, abdominal abscesses. These types of curative procedures have limited contraindications, can be performed irrespective of the patient's condition, and in certain cases may be an alternative to major surgical interventions.
