ULTRASONICALLY GUIDED PERCUTANEOUS ASPIRATION OF ABSCESSES

EDWARD H. SMITH M.D., ROYAL J. BARTRUM JR. M.D., and Philip Bailey U.S.T.

Ultrasonic examination can reliably diagnose intra-abdominal or retroperitoneal abscesses in the majority of patients. Some cases in which the diagnosis is unsure or a precarious clinical condition contraindicates exploratory surgery can be definitively diagnosed by an ultrasonically guided aspiration of the suspected abscess.

The discomfort and risk are minimal.

Four cases are reported to demonstrate the value of such aspiration in selected patients.
