Intraabdominal abscesses--percutaneous catheter drainage versus operative treatment.
1989
From 65 patients with 73 abscesses 38 were treated by operation and 27 by PCD. The mean duration of drainage was 6.8 days (OP) and 7.4 days (PCD) respectively. In the surgical group 2 patients needed reintervention and 1 died due to sepsis. In the PCD group 1 patient had to be operated on because of insufficient drainage and 1 died after perforation of the colon.
