Main Article Content
Abstract
Object: Evaluating the result of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage for the management of appendiceal abscess at Bach Mai Hospital. Materials and methods: Retrospective, cluster analysis. A total of 19 patients diagnosed with appendiceal abscesses underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage at Bach Mai Hospital from 01/2023 to 04/2024. Results: 19 patients (10 men and 9 women), mean age was 46,84 years (09-90). The main clinical signs found were abdominal pain (100%). 47,37% patients were fever. The mean appendiceal abscess size was 48,75mm. Patients in the study were selected to have catheter sizes 8F, 9F, and 10F, in which the number of cases using the 10F catheter accounted for the highest proportion of 57,89%. No cases of complications after drainage. Clinical and laboratory symptoms were significantly reduced compared with pre-drainage. The hospitalization period was an average 6,48 days (3-18). The recurrent appendicitis was 21,06%. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage for the management of appendiceal abscesses is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective method.
