“…In particular, PCD is the preferred mode of treatment in patients diagnosed with large abscess (>10 cm) . Previous research studies reported that the postsurgical morbidity and complications of PCD are lower than those of conventional surgical procedures, such as open drainage and laparoscopic surgery . Moreover, PCD is better than percutaneous needle aspiration, because the former has a relatively higher success rate.…”

Aim:To investigate whether ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein catheterization can be successfully carried out in the intrahepatic region of patients with unliquefied bacterial liver abscess (UBLA), who are subsequently treated with an injection of antibiotics.Methods: Thirty-two UBLA patients were enrolled in this study. Among them, 13 patients were included in the experimental group; an ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein catheterization was undertaken in the intrahepatic region of these patients, and they also received an injection of antibiotics. The remaining 19 patients were retrospectively included in the control group; these patients only received systemic antibiotic therapy. The efficacy of intervention was compared with that of systemic treatment. Results:The catheterization procedures were successful in all the patients of the experimental group. However, two cases (15.4%) developed complications postoperatively. Compared to the control group, the following parameters of the experimental group were significantly shorter/lower: (i) duration for regaining normal body temperature; (ii) time period for achieving normal white blood cell count; (iii) length of hospitalization; (iv) cases of liquefied liver abscess during follow-up; and (v) cost of hospitalization (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein catheterization is a simple, minimally invasive, and effective treatment for UBLA. It must be carried out in the intrahepatic region and a subsequent injection of antibiotics must be given.

BACKGROUNDAcute abdominal pain is a common complaint of patients presenting at the Emergency Department. Patients presenting with acute abdominal condition which often requires an immediate surgical intervention and is one of the commonly encountered emergencies in the practice of General Surgery. Very often an accurate diagnosis cannot be made without surgery and many wonders are revealed on opening the abdomen. So it is often the last court of appeal in investigating abdominal cases.

“…Large abscesses with strong walls and multiple chambers cannot be effectively evacuated or fully drained, making recurrence more likely. Laparoscopic drainage is an effective alternative in such cases, assuring better results (2,11).…”

Comparison of laparoscopic and open surgery for pyogenic liver abscess with biliary pathology

Abstract: Laparoscopic surgery for simultaneous treatment of PLA and biliary pathology is feasible in selected patients and the therapeutic effect is similar to that of open surgery.
