Abstract
Background: Ultrasonic guided per-cutaneousfine needle aspiration drainage technique of intraabdominalfluid collection and/or abscess hasbecome the treatment of choice for the majority ofthe cases, regardless of etiology.Objective: To evaluate the role of fine needleaspiration drainage technique with intra-cavitorybroad spectrum antibiotic instillation as a diagnosticand therapeutic procedure for intra-abdominalabscesses and/or fluid collection.Methods: From September 1999 to April 2000thirty two patients presented with intra-abdominalabscesses and fluid collection was treated byultrasonic guided per-cutaneous fine needleaspiration drainage.Results: Complete recovery and resolution wasachieved in (93.7%) of the cases with two failurecases which needed another surgical intervention.Gram etiological microorganism, and (56.3%) ofcases gave a history of previous intra-abdominalsurgical intervention before symptoms started.Conclusion: This technique was proved to benegative bacilli were found to be the most commoncause of intra-abdominal abscesses cases as an adesirable approach to diagnose and treat patientswith intra-abdominal abscesses and/or fluidcollection.Key words: Fine needle aspiration, ultrasonography,intra-abdominal abscess
