Abstract:
Results of surgical treatment of hepatic amebic abscess in three hospitals during last three years are presented. Seventy four percent of patients admitted with complications of amebiasis have liver abscess. Of them 22% require surgical treatment and mortality is 8%. Nineteen years ago the amount of patients admitted with amebic complications was greater and a larger number of patients were operated; however mortality has not changed.
