    Author: Kvarantan M, Ivanović D, Radonić R, Gjurasin M.

    Abstract:
    The procedure of percutaneous, echosonographicaly guided puncture and drainage of localized abdominal fluid collections by use of fine-needle and catheter is described in this review. The care prior to and after the puncture is also reported. This diagnostic as well as therapeutic modality can delay or make unnecessary surgical intervention resulting in a complete improvement. Twenty patients were treated with this procedure and we describe three cases in whom this treatment was successfully applied.
