    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Primary percutaneous drainage of intraabdominal abscesses is a minimally invasive, effective treatment.
    • Recurrent or secondary abscesses after initial surgical drainage pose a clinical challenge.
    • Inadequate drainage can lead to persistent infection and symptoms.
