Percutaneous abscess drainage.
Abstract
Forty-two abscess collections in the abdomen, pelvis and mediastinum were drained in 40 patients. Thirty-two were drained completely and required no operative treatment. The high success rate combined with the low morbidity rate and low mortality suggest that, if possible, percutaneous drainage of abscesses is preferable to operative drainage.
