[New trends in the treatment of liver abscesses].
The authors share their experiences with treatment of 85 patients with abscesses of the liver aged from 17 to 83 years. The size of abscesses was from 2.5 to 23 cm in diameter. For the topical diagnostics the following methods were used: ultrasound scanning, computed tomography, scintigraphy, diagnostic puncture biopsy of the liver, laparoscopy etc. Decision between the methods of operative treatment depended on the concrete clinical situation. Both open and minimally invasive methods were used. Hydropressive technologies and ozone therapy were used for better sanitation of the abscess cavity. A new method of the assisted minimally invasive intervention was developed especially for treatment of patients with large abscesses of the liver. The new technologies allowed to reduce the amount of postoperative complications and to make the time of staying at the hospital substantially shorter.
