The results indicate that the low risk percutaneous drainage of subphrenic abscesses is only feasible in carefully selected patients. The surgical intervention remains the method of choice for the drainage of subphrenic abscesses in conditions such as multiple and complicated abscesses, unfavourable access to the abscess cavities or other pathological conditions. An early and decisive diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of subphrenic abscesses either by percutaneous drainage or surgical intervention and antibiotic therapy.
