    Author: Fargeaudou Y, Brouard R, Soyer P, Hamzi L, Boudiaf M, Rymer R.

    Abstract:
    Extra-parenchymal collections in the abdomen and pelvis are a not infrequent occurrence in gastrointestinal pathologies. Twenty years of experience have proved percutaneous drainage to be a safe and effective therapeutic modality. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of radio-guided percutaneous drainage which can serve as a substitute for open surgical drainage in 70% of cases. This therapeutic modality should be considered for every case of abdomino-pelvic collection.
