BACKGROUND Abdominopelvic fluid collection and abscess management and their outcomes have improved in the recent years due to innovation of the image-guided drainage technique and improvement of surgical procedures. OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous drainage in treating abdominopelvic abscesses. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this study, the da...

Rivaroxaban is currently used to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Like all anticoagulants, rivaroxaban carries a risk of bleeding. There is a single reported case of rectus abdominis hematoma due to rivaroxaban use in the literature. We present an 82-year-old female patient presented to our outpatient clinic with sudden pain and swelling in the abdominal region. The patient ...

PURPOSE The occurrence of benign bile duct stenoses is mostly associated with prior biliary surgery, pancreatic diseases or sclerosing cholangitis. It remains a challenging problem for gastroenterologists and surgeons, especially in case the endoscopic approach is not possible. The exact role of percutaneous transhepatic stenting for these patients has not been clearly defined yet. MATERIAL A...

Renal abscesses are rarely seen in the childhood period. Delays diagnosis may cause kidney loss. The treatment method is still controversial. patient with a large renal abscess, which we operated on because it did not regress broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and was drained percutaneous drainage organized, evaluated light of literature. Keywords: childhood, open surgery, drainage.

Peritoneal lavage and dialysis is an approach to treat necrotizing acute pancreatitis as it removes dialyzable toxins and reduces severe metabolic disturbances. Successful catheter implantation is important for delivering adequate peritoneal lavage and dialysis. The aim of the present study was to describe a new modified percutaneous technique for the placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters ...

Percutaneous drainage has rapidly become the initial procedure of choice in the treatment of most intra-abdominal abscesses. The retroperitoneal location of the urinary tract facilitates a percutaneous approach and has been found to be highly effective, with surgical intervention required in a minority of cases. Noninfected fluid collections, particularly those related to ureteral or renal pelv...

Endoscopic biliary stenting is the most common method of treating obstructive jaundice. But, in about 3-12% of cases, selective cannulation of the major papilla fails and surgery or percutaneous biliary drainage is required. But, percutaneous drainage requires dilated intrahepatic biliary ducts, and the rate of complications reaches 20%. including cases of peritoneal bleeding. A new technique o...

THREE TECHNIQUES FOR THE TREATMENT OF INTRACTABLE PANCREATIC FISTULA: percutaneous transfistulous pancreatic duct drainage (PTPD), percutaneous transfistulous pancreatojejunostomy (PTPJ), and percutaneous transfistulous pancreatic duct embolization (PTPE) are presented as treatment options for intractable pancreatic fistula. PTPD is effective for most cases of intractable fistula that communica...
