  • Title: [Perinephritic abscess].

    Abstract:
    In spite of technical advances in diagnostic radiology the recognition of a perinephric abscess is still a challenge to even the most experienced urologist. Untreated perinephric abscesses result in considerable mortality. We present ten years experience from 17 patients. All underwent open drainage procedures. In our case this still seems to be the treatment of choice for the majority of these patients. Percutaneous drainage is an alternative to surgery, and is particularly suitable for the high risk patient.
