title: [Pelvic abscesses. Treatment modalities and personal experience].
abstract: The pelvic abscesses as complication of surgical operations or various pathologies is a delicate clinical situation because of the possible and unexpected evolution into a settic shock with a high risk of death. The authors report their personal experience of 16 cases undergone surgical treatment. They underline the importance of an early diagnosis, of a control of the patient general conditions with a specific antibiotic therapy, of the possibility to treat this pathology in a percutaneous way with the help of radiologic techniques or eventually by surgery.
