    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Abdominal Imaging
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Splenic abscesses are rare but serious infections requiring prompt management.
    • Traditional treatment often involves surgical intervention, which carries significant risks.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly explored for abdominal pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the experience of treating splenic abscesses using ultrasound-guided puncture and drainage.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of this minimally invasive approach.
    • To identify potential risks and areas for future research.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective summary of patient cases treated for splenic abscess.
    • Percutaneous puncture and drainage of the abscess cavity.
    • Real-time ultrasonographic guidance throughout the procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Successful drainage was achieved in the treated patients.
    • The ultrasonographic guidance facilitated accurate needle placement and effective drainage.
    • The authors noted the method as perspective, indicating potential benefits.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound-guided splenic abscess puncture and drainage is a viable and potentially perspective treatment option.
    • While effective, the procedure carries inherent risks that require careful consideration.
    • Further investigation and larger studies are warranted to optimize this technique and fully elucidate its safety profile.
