  • Title: [Therapy of pyogenic liver abscess].
    Author: Küchler B, Regli J, Hammer B.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1989 May 27; 119(21):736-9. PubMed ID: 2756400.
    Abstract:
    Between 1980 and 1986, 11 patients with pyogenic liver abscess were treated at the Department of Internal Medicine at the Kantonsspital St. Gallen. 2 patients underwent successful surgical drainage and 9 patients percutaneous needle aspiration or drainage. 7 were successfully treated while 2 required secondary surgical drainage. Our results suggest that percutaneous aspiration or drainage of pyogenic liver abscess should be tried before surgery is considered.
