[Treatment of pyogenic liver abscesses using percutaneous transparietal drainage]. 1989

M Volfová, and P Hůlek, and Z Vacek, and A Michl, and J Vítek

Authors present their own experience with the method of external transparietal drainage of pyogenic hepatic abscesses. It is both effective and available method with minimum complications if performed in time. Mortality rate is much lower than in surgical drainage. Percutaneous drainage of hepatic abscesses depends on the possibility of their diagnostics by means of ultrasonography or computer tomography and access to special instruments.
