[Echo-guided percutaneous drainage of abscesses and abdominal fluid collections].
Abdominal abscesses are pathologies characterized by an high decree of mortality and morbidity. The pathology was once dealt with surgery evacuation the percentage of success reaches 60% while mortality runned around 24%. Today this technic has been substituted by the echo-guided treatment. The minimal invasive approach reduced dramatically the cases of complications (4-6%) and mortality (4%); it is highly suggested in the majority of the cases of visceral or endoperitoneal abscesses. Our study case counts 57 echo-guided drainages due to multiply surgery pathologies. The number of successful ends runs on 93%, this perfect agrees with the data given by literature that states a decree of success around 90%. We did no test an higher or lower decree of complications nor mortality. According to our opinion the echo-guided drainage is a primary technic in abdominal septic collections. Surgery drainage has to be aside for patients with general good health or for collections accompanied with divertcular disease of the large intestine, crohn disease, rectocolitis ulcerosis and periappendix abscess.
