[Abscess therapy by ultrasound-guided fine needle puncture. 2]. 1986

R Heckemann, and K Wernecke

29 intraabdominal abscesses were punctured with sonographic guidance. 26 cases were treated by an evacuating needle puncture which was curative in 23 cases (88%). The complications were temporary bacteraeminas in two cases, which were managed conservatively. Sonographically guided fine needle puncture is a simple and effective procedure for the treatment of abdominal abscesses and should be considered as an alternative to surgery and percutaneous drainage.
