복부농양 및 액체저류의 경피적 카테타 배액술 = Percutaneous Drainage of Abdominal Abscess and Fluid Collection

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Percutaneous catheter drainage using a combination of US, CT and fluoroscopic guidance has become the treatment of choice for various abdominal abscesses and fluid collections.
It is an important alternative to surgical treatment because of its high success rate, low mortality rate and low complication.
The Author analyzed the results of percutaneous catheter drainage in 30 patients with abdominal abscesses and fluid collections at Chungnam National University Hospital from May 1986 to Aug. 1988.
The results were as follows:
1. Successful drainage of the collection with avoidance of operation was achieved in 24/30 (80%) patients and partial success in 3 patients among 6 failures and recurrences
2. There were 2 failures and 4 recurrence and these were due to phlegmon, organized tissue, multiplicity, fistulae, or underlying tumor.
3. Comlication was minor in most cases
4. The overall, complete and partial success rate was 90%, failure rate was 6.7% and recurrent rate was 13.3%.
