Introduction of percutaneous drainage (pcd) of subphrenic space in early subphrenic abscesses or fluid collections (e.g. bile) seems to be an alternative to common surgical treatment, if the indication is restricted to single contaminated abscesses. Septicemia, continued contamination, hematomas and multiple abscesses are contraindications. METHODS A modified angiocatheter is placed directly or by a Seldinger technique. Adjunct antibiotic treatment is important. The advantages of subphrenic pcd are: simple low risk procedure in local anesthesia, rapid improvement of associated respiratory symptoms, no further contamination of the abdomen. 4 of 6 patients were treated successfully by this procedure.
