  • Title: New approaches in treating abdominal abscesses.
    Author: Majeski JA.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1983 Sep; 28(3):223-7. PubMed ID: 6613798.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasonography, computed tomography and radionuclide scintigraphy are changing the management of patients with intra-abdominal abscesses. Traditional surgical incision and drainage may not be necessary in all cases. Percutaneous catheter drainage using radiologic techniques has a high success rate. Although there are factors that preclude the use of percutaneous catheter drainage of an abscess, it nonetheless may be an alternative in certain situations.
