[Localization, prophylaxis and therapy of subphrenic abscess]

S Mügler, H P Eichfuss

    Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift Fur Alle Gebiete Der Operativen Medizen
    |February 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Subphrenic abscesses can be accurately identified and localized using Gallium 67 scanning. Surgical drainage via an anterolateral approach through the diaphragm is effective for treating these abscesses.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Context:

    • Subphrenic abscesses present significant diagnostic and management challenges.
    • Accurate localization is crucial to prevent peritoneal contamination during surgical intervention.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the symptoms, causes, and diagnostic methods for subphrenic abscess.
    • To illustrate the surgical approach and prophylaxis for subphrenic abscess.
    • To evaluate the utility of Gallium 67 scanning in identifying and localizing subphrenic abscesses.

    Summary:

    • This study details the clinical presentation and etiology of subphrenic abscess.
    • Gallium 67 scanning is presented as a reliable method for positive identification and localization.
    • Surgical drainage was performed in 75 patients using an anterolateral extrapleural incision through the diaphragm.
    • The technique emphasizes preventing peritoneal cavity contamination.

    Impact:

    • Gallium 67 scanning aids in precise diagnosis and localization, including bilateral cases.
    • Effective surgical management reduces complications associated with subphrenic abscess.
    • This approach contributes to improved patient outcomes in subphrenic abscess treatment.
