[Ultrasound-controlled minimally invasive surgical interventions in abdominal abscesses].
Results of ultrasound-controlled minimally invasive surgical interventions (UAMISI) for abdominal abscesses are analyzed. 84 operations were performed in 72 patients with good results. Puncture method was used in 12 patients, drainage operation--in 58, endoscopy-guided puncture method--in 2 patients. Indications for different ultrasonic-assisted interventions are developed. It is concluded that at present the UAMISI are the alternative to conventional "open" treatment of abdominal abscesses.
