    Author: Brown DS, Meban S, Tao HH.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1986 Sep; 29(5):374-5. PubMed ID: 3756664.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a study of 45 patients who had percutaneous catheter drainage of 52 intra-abdominal abscesses. In 37 patients this was the only treatment necessary; the other 8 needed further surgery to correct the cause of the abscess or treat concurrent surgical disease. The catheter complication rate was 3.8%.
