fine needle aspiration drainage technique of intraabdominal
fluid collection and/or abscess has
become the treatment of choice for the majority of
the cases, regardless of etiology.
Objective: To evaluate the role of fine needle
aspiration drainage technique with intra-cavitory
broad spectrum antibiotic instillation as a diagnostic
and therapeutic procedure for intra-abdominal
abscesses and/or fluid collection.
Methods: From September 1999 to April 2000
thirty two patients presented with intra-abdominal
abscesses and fluid collection was treated by
ultrasonic guided per-cutaneous fine needle
aspiration drainage.
Results: Complete recovery and resolution was
achieved in (93.7%) of the cases with two failure
cases which needed another surgical intervention.
Gram etiological microorganism, and (56.3%) of
cases gave a history of previous intra-abdominal
surgical intervention before symptoms started.
Conclusion: This technique was proved to be
negative bacilli were found to be the most common
cause of intra-abdominal abscesses cases as an a
desirable approach to diagnose and treat patients
with intra-abdominal abscesses and/or fluid
collection.
Key words: Fine needle aspiration, ultrasonography,
intra-abdominal abscess
