A Technique of Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Transperineal Percutaneous Drainage of Pelvic Abscess After Radical Cystectomy

Abstract

Pelvic abscess after pelvic surgery is a serious complication. Percutaneous perineal ultrasound guided drainage is a safe and effective therapeutic option.

Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided pelvic abscess drainage (with video)

“…Pelvic abscesses are a relatively common complication of obstetric and colorectal surgery [1], and can also occur in diseases such as Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, ischemic colitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or endocarditis. Pelvic abscesses are typically multi-microbial.…”

Pelvic Abscess Caused by Ureteral Calculus and Abscess Treatment through Aspiration by Transperineal Puncture

“…The transrectal puncture approach was limited due to the high location of the patient's abscess. And the puncture operation was successfully completed when we used transrectal ultrasound guidance and adopted a transperineal approach [ 14 ].…”
