Abstract:

Objective — to improve the results of surgical treatment of abdominal abscesses using ultrasound-assisted drainage. Material and methods. There were 103 cases of percutaneous ultrasound-assisted drainage of intraperitoneal abscesses for the period from 2012 to 2017. Patients who underwent drainage of intraorganic and retroperitoneal abscesses associated with pancreatic necrosis were excluded from the study. Results. Complete recovery was observed in 101 (98%) out of 103 patients within 10—73 days. Conclusion. Ultrasound-assisted drainage is an effective procedure for abscesses. This method has demonstrated high efficiency, availability and safety without need for open approach. This method may be a reliable alternative to open surgery, for example in emergency surgical hospitals.

Keywords:
