The Treatment of Empyema by Incision and Drainage, as Illustrated by Forty Cases
My chief object in bringing forward such a hackneyed subject, is to emphasise the necessity of free drainage in these cases.

متن کاملDrainage basins and channel incision on Mars.
Measurements acquired by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on board the Mars Global Surveyor indicate that large drainage systems on Mars have geomorphic characteristics inconsistent with prolonged erosion by surface runoff. We find the topography has not evolved to an expected equilibrium terrain form, even in areas where runoff incision has been previously interpreted. By analogy with terrestr...

متن کاملProcedure: incision and drainage of a superficial abscess.
Pyogenic bacteria such as the Staphylococcus Aureus characteristically produce a circumscribed area of tissue necrosis leading to abscess formation. An abscess consists of (i) a central cavity containing pus, which is essentially liquefied necrotic tissue along with dead poiymorphs and bacteria (many of the latter are alive) and (ii) a surrounding wall, the inner layer of which is again necroti...
متن کاملEmpyema following percutaneous catheter drainage of upper abdominal abscess.
Percutaneous catheter drainage is a standard therapy for management of selected intra-abdominal abscesses. We describe three patients in whom this technique caused complicated thoracic empyemas. All patients required thoracotomy for decortication despite initial thoracostomy tube drainage. In each case, the percutaneously placed drainage catheter was found traversing the costophrenic angle, lea...
