[Percutaneous drainage of abdominal fluid collections guided by computer tomography]

During the war, June 1992,-August 1994, at the Institute 20 percutaneous fluid collections and abscesses drainages in the belles were done, controlled by the CT. The percutaneous drainage we started in 1984, until now we had 141 cases, 20 cases in the war time, 14 of them were wounded, while the rest was suffering from a malignant process in stomach, pancreas, kidneys. Both groups had post-operative complications after liver injuries. 7 underwent the percutaneous drainage. The length was 1-64 days, drainage contents quantity was 60-5.000 m. The drainage was successful with 14 patients, while in 5 cases we had to repeat, change the catheter place. Only with 1 patients the drainage was not done, but an aspiration. The contents were send to microbiologic analysis. It was a retro-peritoneal abscess collection. Based on our ten-years experience, we are of an opinion that the CT controlled percutaneous drainage is a very efficient, simple and acurata urgent radiology procedure. According to our experiences, nearly all cases were successful.
