Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Abdominal Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Palliative and curative therapeutic procedures can be performed via sonographically-radiologically guided puncture and catheter insertion.
  • Liver abscesses are the most common indication, but abdominal abscesses and pancreatic pseudocysts are also treatable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sonographically guided catheter insertion for various intra-abdominal conditions.
  • To highlight the advantages of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized preformed pigtail catheters introduced via the Seldinger principle or direct needle insertion.
  • Employed sonographic guidance for puncture and catheter placement in clinical cases.

Main Results:

  • Successful treatment of liver abscesses, abdominal abscesses, and pancreatic pseudocysts was achieved.
  • Sonographically guided interventions demonstrated quick implementation and immediate complication recognition.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasonically guided therapeutic interventions are low-risk and successful when performed collaboratively by radiologists and surgeons.
  • Advantages include no radiation exposure, rapid procedures, and minimal costs.
