title: [Percutaneous drainage of abdomino-pelvic collections. Indications, techniques, and results].
abstract: Extra-parenchymal collections in the abdomen and pelvis are a not infrequent occurrence in gastrointestinal pathologies. Twenty years of experience have proved percutaneous drainage to be a safe and effective therapeutic modality. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of radio-guided percutaneous drainage which can serve as a substitute for open surgical drainage in 70% of cases. This therapeutic modality should be considered for every case of abdomino-pelvic collection.
