“…CT-guided percutaneous drainage is the treatment of choice for subphrenic fluid collections [25]. Given the proximity to the lung and pleural space, it is important for the radiologist to have a complete view of these structures when evaluating the possible access route [19].…”

CT-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure that allows minimally invasive treatment of abdominopelvic abscesses and fluid collections. This technique has become an alternative for surgery with lower morbility and mortality rates. In this pictorial essay, we aim at providing an overview of the technical approaches, the main clinical indications and complications of CT-guided percutaneous drainage, in order to provide a practical guide for interventional radiologists, with a review of the recent literature. The focus will be the CT-guidance, preferred when the interposition of viscera, vascular and skeletal structures, counteracts the ultrasound guidance.

Liver resection as an emergency procedure in patients with liver injury due to abdominal trauma has become a rare procedure. In most cases liver trauma can be managed conservatively. Currently surgery is only indicated in hemodynamically instable patients and in cases of progredient haematoma where the main aim is control of bleeding. Anatomical liver resection should be avoided and may only be performed in cases of total vascular avulsion. Debridement of devascularized tissue can also be carried out in terms of an atypical liver resection. This article elucidates the current indications for liver resection after traumatic liver injury.
