Abstract:
Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a potentially lethal condition, often requiring a combination of medical and surgical interventions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is a known modality for safe and effective management of pelvic fluid collections, but its role for the treatment of TOA is not well documented. We report the first known case of successful treatment of a large TOA with EUS-guided transrectal drainage using a lumen-apposing metal stent.
